One listen. Threw myself into this and just wrote. There was some active thinking, but it didn’t overtake everything the way it usually does.
I think this is a bit messy, but I also think I get a good idea of the song across. I think I captured at least one aspect of it quite well.
Willebrant’s “Sands VII (New Beginning) is from Desert Songs.
I hope you enjoy.

Fading into view, and shining and bright, and perhaps hopeful. Growing larger, seemingly flat but also wavy. Seemingly trying to get to a sate of flatness, but unable to.
Another sound appears, draws long and drifts. Fades away, comes back and appears higher up, and disappears and comes back lower, and it continues to change with each reappearance.
Other sounds come and go with some subtlety, and it all seems dreamy and fertile, in a sense. A richness comes and goes, and it’s hopeful; it’s almost uplifting. At the same time there’s something arid and stark, and it’s not all hopeful; there’s a lingering sense of trying to achieve a balance between all the elements.
Something like a weighted breeze comes in and the sounds continue their motion and transformation, and it’s slow, but it is changing. The sounds shift as the landscape changes, and across a great distance something appears, but it fades with the sounds as the song ends.
