Dawnings
Anew
By Nicholas Hooper
It’s time to restart, said the good wolf.
Maybe look at things differently and say,
‘I knew, I knew something wasn’t quite right,
in me, I mean, and that something was a hurt,
a wound that I never saw, but now I see it.’
And as you saw it, a new part of your world
began to unravel and you were not so afraid of being wrong.
After all, what’s wrong with saying sorry and moving on?
A new dawn is always special if seen in the light of what it truly means.

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.”
