The young man decides he’s had enough in this town
He never belonged anyway, born the clown
There’s a whole world out there to explore
He’ll take a bite out of this earth’s core
Everyone he knows in this miserable old town
Looks at him with disdain and a frown
They, he knows will stay here and wilt
Why should he out of some misguided guilt
He knows that he has to make the break now
To escape the problems of this crazy town
To free himself of everyone’s problems and chaos
His wings will fly finally, waters to cross
He wants to see huge mountainous views
The skies clear in their starry hues
He wishes to see dolphins and whales
At play on gentle seas and not gales
To cross a desert on a camel or horse
Through ancient Egypt a dream of course
Now he can fulfil in a few weeks
Achieving his dreams, climbing those peaks
Another dream he has is to see lions in the wild
This has he had since he was a small child
So much to see and do across the beautiful earth
This he knows will be his rebirth

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...''
