This rain that falls from the skies
These angels tears I hear them cry
In torrential floods do they fall
They despair we do not hear their call
Of mankind and the earth do they weep
Of the wars and neglect we do reap
Of the animals and life we do kill
Of the blood-lust and greed we have our fill
These angels cry this summer away
The warmth and beauty gone for another day
For we don’t deserve beauty we so neglect
The earth trembles at mankind’s effect
One day we may learn from our mistakes
Before heaven’s rain overfills our lakes
To swallow up the land and all life in holds
Then freeze it over the great winter cold
The sun peeps through the clouds, a ray of hope
A brief warmth settles on my brow, can we cope?
For I think nature fights back with all her might
Angels and the Mother will put up a fight

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...''
