Thinking on all he wanted to do
All he said aloud
Weeks turned into months
Then into years
But stayed still did he
He hasn’t helped himself
This he knows
Taken a battering many times
No path was he shown
Lost opportunities went away
Then one day one came his way
Huge it was to him
But dithered did he
Trying to do the right thing
Time did slip away
A sadness for things gone
Stories never to be told
But he knows there are some to come
If he’ll take the risks
Those that he fears
A slow burner he has always been
Taking time deciding
Or just being lazy
But when he decides on something
Nothing on this earth can stop him

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...''
