Nothing stirs
Nothing moves
In the darkness
As the light does lose
An eternal battle
Deeply fought
It’s no wonder
Escape is sought
Soon the war will be won
Maybe then to
Free a setting sun
This eternal battle
Fought for aeons
Harks back to
prehistory and song
Both worshipped
by those below
Who needs them both
Forever as they know
The moon smiles
Full and fat
As the sun hides away
Without his hat

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...''

Ironically if either we to “win” the war, it would be the end of life on Earth as we know it. I love this way of thinking however, a very ancient thought. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you again! I wrote this as a way to show how insignificant humans are in the grand scheme of things and that the moon and the sun have always been there and will be so for billions of years more long after we are dust and forgotten. I’m glad you liked it. It was something I was playing with and was unsure how it would turn out so I took a chance and put it out there.
