Whispered Visions is a setting of a poem by the prolific writer, Adam C. Sharp.  The piece uses many modal key changes.  Many times the key changes are by half steps, which gives the piece a sense of floating and instability.  There are also within the piece, oscillating parallel fifths, which shift pitches centers by half steps.

Whispered Visions Whispers Through sky bound wind Following atmospheres guide As eternity guides between it                                                         Hollow is the air that feeds Mysteries carrying dreams And images holding visions Immersed in each breath A mellow solemn place To freely escape This plain above And know The specks of time Sealed Within.                  Adam C. Sharp
