By the Sea/ Brighton’s Waves by the author Darren Greenidge Right now I wish to be by the sea
where my soul is one, my spirit is free
To ride the waves and play like a dolphin
then washed ashore, a new day starting
The sound of the sea eating at the beach
is a sound my ears need to reach
For they calm this restless troubled man
like nothing much else can
With the sea you feel as one
all your troubles at once undone
It has a power to make clear the mind
where before once you were confused and blind
Feeling its embrace around your feet
is a feeling so great you wish ever to meet
This powerful element knows no bounds
it covers the earth, can always be found
We have a connection as a species, so proud
Three-quarters made up of water are we, we found
The moon controls the seas and in turn us too
Hence our affinity with the sea so blue
Our moods, our passions do sway
in unison with the waves
And in its fury and calming intensity
its power recharges my soul, by the sea
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...''
