Dawnings
Done for now
By Nicholas Hooper
He claps his hands and says,
‘Done for now’, this little man in my head.
And so pleased he is, that his tummy relaxes
and he breathes a little.
Such a fine way to start the day!

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.”
