Walking home from work in the dark
Late it is, close to midnight
The job she hates a memory marked
Where she always has to fight
The same old thing she does each day
Monotonous boredom rules her life
No time for friends, no time for play
No-one to take to, in so to confide
She looks up into the cold clear sky
Stars twinkle like diamonds bright
Then she sees a shooting star passing by
She makes a wish on this cold starry night
Her wish she keeps to herself alone
Hoping for it to come true very soon
So she can escape for a new life to belong
New adventures to give her a boost
”Please she wishes, please come true
So much to do and so much to see
Fulfil my dreams whilst I’m young and in tune
With all and everything around me.”
To bed she goes wrapped up warm and happy
Dreaming of that star travelling far
Carrying her wish to a distant galaxy
She’ll keep that wish within her heart

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...''
