Phone calls came a-ringing today
That she’d long given up on
Putting a smile on her face
Meaning her new life now shan’t be long
Many a deed she also did
For others this day too
Water off a duck’s back to her
It’s what she always does do
Long gone are the negative thoughts
Replaced a more positive attitude
That’ll bring her all she wants
Now she has nothing to lose
All it took was self-belief
That she thought had gone long ago
Now her strength has emboldened her
To give the world an incredible show
No-one shall stop her on this path
For too long she has strayed
Now feet firmly set on the cobbles
A day of surprises this day

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...''
