Dawnings
Wings of change
By Nicholas Hooper
Fly, fly on the wings of change
Discover the height, breadth of the land
as it passes beneath
Fields of joy
Forests of wisdom
Rivers of invention
and Mountains of truth
as, reaching the Ocean,
you can settle in the freedom
of the infinite and know
the place where fear
is placed with peace
Turning to the sun,
a winter behind and past,
see the spring of new growth
of hope, of future, of beauty
and find your love
on the wings of change

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.”
