Poetry

Starbound

‘Tis a sad day indeed
That you have been taken away
But at least you are free
Starbound on this day

So much you gave to us
Inspired many over the years
You were much-loved
We smile, shed happy tears

Astronomy your love
Music and comedy too
As we look above
Remembering eternally you

Now with your one true love
After many years of heartbreak
This one person you did trust
Sweet music in the stars you now make

Rest in peace Teacher
Rest in peace amongst the gods
Rest in peace stargazer
Rest in peace Sir Patrick Moore

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...''
