Dawnings
Fault
By Nicholas Hooper
My fault
Your fault
No one’s fault
Think back
Think now
Think how
It could be different if
We took out fault and looked at
Reason why.
Understanding
If we can
Stops
Fault lines developing
Between us so
That we can live together
Love together
Hug together
Fault means
Separation
Fault means
Humiliation
Fault means
No going back
No looking back
No chance to
Understand
Another.
So leave fault
Say no to fault
Live in kindness
Live in peace
Look for the best
In all things and
All people and
You will find
Another route
Through life
A route of kindness and ease
A route of purpose and reason
A route that takes work but
Brings the riches of
True love.

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.”
