Her friends talk away
Telling her about their day
About their lives in entirety
From different worlds can’t they see?
Friends for years they have been
Everywhere they were seen
But lately they’ve grown apart
Different worlds they live in their hearts
She’s never asked how she is
No interest in her business
Half hearted are they in her
Many emotions inside do stir
Anger and sadness top of the pile
As she listens with a false smile
She knows she loves them, always will
But self-absorbed, they never keep it real
So as her friends tell her all
The day draws to an end so no more
Barely a word was asked of her
This a lesson she always learns

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...''
