Dawnings
Letting
By Nicholas Hooper
Go
Letting
Go of things
Of things that upset
Things that upset you
That upset you because
Upset you because of your
You because of your beliefs
Because of your beliefs that
Of your beliefs that you are
Your beliefs that you are right
Beliefs that you are right and
That you are right and they
You are right and they are
Are right and they are wrong
Right and they are wrong
And they are wrong
They are wrong
Are wrong
Wrong
Let
Go

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.”
