Ireland, Oh Ireland
I miss you so
And the happy faces
That continually glow
From Dublin to Kilkenny
Where I have roots
Stronger than here
Where I live in gloom
I’ve been to Waterford
A place I love to be
Wexford and Donegal
Counties different in variety
Many places I have been
Across Ireland inland
And by the sea
Always a story, never bland
But Cork and Kerry hold my heart
Calm my soul in many ways
Kinsale though stills all storms
It never me betrays
I dream of returning there
To live again
To find that peace I’ve searched
For since a child of ten
Ireland, Oh Ireland
Embrace me next time
Third time lucky
Please give me a try
We belong together
This you know true
But until you’re ready
I’ll dream of you

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...''
