Dawnings
The goodness
By Nicholas Hooper
It’s reflected back to me, the goodness,
it’s why I want to be, the goodness,
forever happy on the way, the goodness,
and appreciating each day, the goodness.
There is a wish to be, the goodness,
in life easy and free, the goodness,
not caught in anger or in stress, the goodness,
but feeling all that goodness, all that goodness,
all that goodness that surrounds me.

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.”
