Winter has come this December night
Fingers and toes do feel the bite
The cold snap has arrived with the storms
Time to wrap up and to keep very warm
Little kids with scarf’s wrapped tight
Rush home with their parents for warmth and firelight
Rain lashes outside against the window
As those inside are glad to be home
The fire burns and crackles by them
As the bathe in its glow once again
Snow the man on the TV says
They hope to god it doesn’t and silently pray
The children are told time for bed
One wishes for a story for him to be read
Of elves and monsters and wizards he’s told
Enthralled by adventure of another world
Wrapped up warm he sleeps and dreams
Sheltered from the harshness of winter things
In his dream he’s a knight with a magic sword
Who fights evil monsters for his mighty lord
In the morning though he’s in for a surprise
As snow does fall and settles outside
Thick and fast does it fall and settles in
Angels feathers have fallen in time for Christmas again

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...''
