Dawnings
one two three
By Nicholas Hooper
find the rungs and jump the steps
a leap is what will happen
and taking that leap
means faith
trust in the ice?
it may crack and let you through
to a place of cold water
where swim the unknown creatures
in a world filled with numbers
one two three
is only the beginning
of a never ending thought
where number can expand
to unseen futures so vast
that a limited mind can’t understand
and yet this is our universe
it starts with one two three
and expands to the infinite
observe and wonder……….

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.”
