Picture courtesy of http://www.lifeinsure.com If I were a horse I’d gallop across the sands
On the beaches of Connemara, a life so grand
The waves would lap up at my hooves in glory
This horse and land belong to an ancient story
If I were a dog then a Husky I would be
Racing through the snow, my paws running free
The adrenaline of the race and land I would be one
This Husky runs for his spirit, more to him than fun
If I were a bird, then an eagle I would fly
Soaring high above the mountains and the sky
My wings at one with the currents as I glide
King of the skies, no need to hide
If I were a wolf so at one with nature are they
Mother earth’s children, guardians till this day
I would howl my thanks to her reign
Hiding from man’s need to inflict pain
But a human I am chosen to be
With all the confusions that come with me
In the next life maybe we choose
What we can be, win or lose
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...''
