She passes through the day cheerful and in tune
With her surroundings and all that’s to pass very soon
Confident and clear her head and insight
Suddenly the future is oh so bright
But it’s taken her a long time to get there
So many problems, so much that wasn’t fair
Down she got and sometimes didn’t fight back
Her confidence and belief knocked, her heart black
Not much support did she get on this long hard path
Just talked down to and behind her back, they laughed
This did hurt her through her trials at times
But then a purpose and strength did she find
So quietly she eventually trod her road
Not telling many so they could goad
For when she reached the desired goal
She would find herself free of the dark hole
Now though she is ever so close
She can almost taste what she desires the most
She’ll surprise all those that doubted her so
When showing them her achievements, telling them where to go

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
