She takes her break from work
Forty-five minutes of bliss
Dreaming of another world
And opportunities missed
She watches people glide by
Rushing around, stressed are they
As she sips her hot chocolate
She dreams of warmer days
Oh how she wishes on another chance
To do things differently
But far too late she now believes
She can never be free
But the only thing stopping her is herself
This the sad truth
Excuses always made to justify this
What does she have to lose
Then one day something snaps
Years have passed her by
Her family all around her she loves
But she needs something for herself to try
And so a new adventure begins
Her heart beats fast once more
Why didn’t she do this earlier
This adventure is what life is for

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...''
