Dawnings
A channel of love
By Nicholas Hooper
Don’t go, stay awhile
And in that time together
We can hold each other close
And remember in our eyes
The true love that flames
And in our words
We can recall so much
Of a life spent together
In a loving match
Where flare the words
That sum it all together
The words that’re said so often
But can mean so much
If spoken from the heart
When from our lips we can say
I love you

About Dawnings:
“Every morning at around 5am I get up and go down to my studio. After a short meditation I write down whatever is in my head, giving myself fifteen minutes to do so. Then moving over to the piano (or a more portable instrument like my Ukulele when I'm away), I improvise and record a piece of music inspired by whatever words I just wrote. It is a great way of keeping both my writing and my composing going and I call these small creations Dawnings. They are mostly unedited, like sketches, so that they keep that fresh feeling of an early morning discovery.”
