Inspiration

Inspiration is a funny thing
You either have it or you don’t
When you do, so much it can bring
A wealth of knowledge to your home

Creative types rely on this so much more
It’s their life-force that they need
It for them opens so many doors
Without it they would bleed

A chef creates a meal worthy of a King
But the following day no ideas he will have
Too many in this field do compete
Originality is hard for him, he tries so bad

A writer tries just as hard, if not more
For ideas don’t come as easy
For them it’s a different law
Like the Chef to come up with something amazingly meaty

From a new place to live, to start again
To where you go next in your life
Inspiration can be heaven-sent
But usually it’s time you bide

So have a little faith in yourself
And that in which you believe
Soon inspiration will come to help
And fulfil your every need

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...''
