Just when you had resigned yourself
To a life less dreamed
Along came a knock on temptations door
To plant a doubting seed
So which decision should one take
For the road had now split
Should the chance be taken anew
Or with the old one stick?
Many a worry, many a thought
Wasted on thinking and not doing
When the chance was finally there
Nowhere were you but going
For fear plays a game in part
Plays and dances in glee
He’ll laugh and tempt you with smiles
Blinded then you can’t see
Your head clouded with so much more
Making a simple idea hard to achieve
Now the decisions crowd your mind
Making harder your original belief
Just when you had all sown up
A new path does open
Where oh where was this path
When you cried for it to be sent

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...''
