A tone poem for orchestra after a poem about the circle of life by an unknown poet.

First Time I Saw

First time I saw the water, I was a grain

First time I saw the earth, I was a human being

First time I saw the sky, I was a boy

First time I sensed fear, I was a man

First time I heard a bird’s squeal, I was an old person

When I felt pain, I was death

Then was life, I was everything
