Reminds me of Pärt's Cantus in Memoriam of Benjamin Britten, only that it ascends instead.
Please consider adding metallic percussion for punctuation and/or harp for arpeggios too.
It took me days and hours but this poem is finally presentable.
It's meant for a virtual orchestra, because its so huge.

For an entire course on how to incorporate both calm and disruptive writing there's Boulez's Notations for Orchestra VII, I highly recommend it.
