I drown under the weight of what floats
Yes, what floats...
What floats through the air when you look at me
What floats through my mind when you smile
And what floats through my dreams while I sleep
You float through my life
The way Earth floats through space
Andrew Rueter, Float

Sometimes she sat and let her mind go blank and her eyes go out of focus, so that she watched the slow, jerky movements of the motes that floated across her pupils. They amazed her as a child. Now she saw them as a reflection of how she moved, floating listlessly through the world, occasionally bumping into another body without acknowledgment, and then floating on, free and alone.
Robert Goolrick, A Reliable Wife

Tied to my reading lamp was a single balloon. Filled with helium, it floated in a morning sunray which slanted in through one of the high windows.

On it was a picture of my face, the eyes gone, blood running down from the ragged sockets, a scream distorting the mouth on the balloon's thin and bulging rubber skin.

I looked at it and I screamed.
Stephen King, It

Did you find the directing sign on the
Straight and narrow highway
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real
David Clayton-Thomas, Spinning Wheel

Wish You Were Here, Pink Floyd

This is stunning, the colors are stupendous. Again your words that you share, opens your mind, in new directions, a gift really. Excellent artwork. Favorite.

You creation really gives me the feel of the absence of sound, John. I can feel myself floating and my thoughts are all that distract me from the nothingness.
The colors are beautiful in your creation, but there is a sadness that permeates throughout.
Hopefully your art brings you peace.
Another fine production.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I like to join me in the above superlatives (valid for the render, quotes, and the music link(s)), John, as this post is a fabulous one too.
It's a pity that I can't hear the Gregorian music, because the music video isn't available in my country because of certain rights. I got this message (in the Dutch language) by checking-out the link: "Video niet beschikbaar. Deze video bevat content van earMUSIC, die deze wegens auteursrechtschending heeft geblokkeerd voor je land."

Mr C, here is a translation to your post: "Video unavailable
This video contains content from earMUSIC, which blocked it for copyright infringement for your country." At the time of my post of this picture, YouTube had over 10,000,000 views of this music. I do not know why it was blocked in your country and not in America or who earMUSIC may be, but thank you for attempting to hear the music on this YouTube link. Maybe you can find a link approved for your country somewhere else on the internet. ~~ John

Thanks John, both for your response and advice, 👍 !

Meanwhile I've searched for an alternative music video, and have found THIS ONE.

Best regards, Cornelius
