'let's look at it another way', by Nicholas Hooper
------------
from the side perhaps?
or from above?
but no
get close
so close
that we can see and feel
at the same time
the softness of a human mind
is not a bad thing
it is good to cry inside your eyes
and hold your own hand
and say, 'I am here'
and say it for yourself
and see the dark and the light
and feel the pain and the joy
all at once
in an inexplicable wholeness

About 'let's look at it another way':
'let's look at it another way' is part of Nicholas Hooper's collection of Dawnings — an innovative way to couple word and music.
"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."
