His stinging eyes looking at picturesque skies
Wonders what’s beyond the clouds
Imagination runs wild, eyes like pies
Burning with dreams through the misty shroud
So much to do, so much to see
All he dreams of within his grasp
To fit it all in five lifetimes would he need
Hands would grip them like an iron clasp
No more waiting, he runs to the dream
His old life disappearing as fast as a blink
All will be as it should have been
No more life washed down the sink
All that wasted inspiration and lost life
Is now getting a chance to breathe
Once again reborn, the flame ignites
A phoenix lives with new eyes to see
So follow him to where your dreams lay
Escape the clutches of conformity
Don’t be a sheep wasting away
Be a wolf in mighty enormity…

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...''
