Screwed over and all alone
No way back and far from home
No money and a fine to pay
This girl is having a bad day
Deserted by a friend she’s been
Left out for the gulls to clean
Stranded with no help forthcoming
To make it worse it’s raining
She just wants home in a warm bed
Why astray was she led?
Down on the coast like a fool
Feeling ashamed at breaking the rules
But hours pass and she starts to relax
Being by the sea has its impact
Calm comes over her in waves
Her anger begins to fade
Disappointment is what is left
It’s like there’s been a death
As this chapter draws to a close
Another may open to continue the flow
It’s just a shame it came to this
That this would be the final twist
But maybe all for the best
Her life may now be blessed

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...''
