Scottish summer

-
Summertime
And the rain it is falling
The sound is comfort
As I sit inside listening
The wind causes action
That pushes on the trees

A hundred thousand leaves
Act like odd sails
Roots anchor them sturdy
Rigging presented
They stay where they are


Green
As far as the eye can see
Glistens, as droplets
Roll to the ground


Puddles and rivulets
Pour from the hills
Inclines though slight
Have an inevitability

Gravitating downwards
Rivers
Gather, their swelling
The cycle continues
As the sea claims her prize

Vapour she rises
Clouds become heavy
Atmosphere changes
The rains come again


Water
We drink our fill
Abundance an understatement
In this pleasant land

Nurture refreshes
From mountain to valley
Fed by our nation
Quenched by her goodness
Our Scotland
Oor hame

Summertime

Sunshine tomorrow?
Drying massaging
In spate
The rivers replenish
Feeding us always
This country for life

Positivity explodes from every pore Despite my doubters This year I'll do much more More for others if I am able More for my family Food for our table. Be all Be everything Reach for the star's Grab opportunity When it comes along Don't be fearful of anything If you can't see it It's not there Resolutions are a misnomer Bound to fail unless Heroically striving You can drag your self from bed Failure makes you hurt inside Disappointment is the foe When February roles in Defeated You'll weep inside Lie low Avoid the gaze, the question's About The intentions you shared before So this year I'm not trying to change dramatically My aspirations will be tempered Measured in a way My mind is set to a default I've probably had before Self doubt is now the enemy Belief in me is raw Attraction Is the focus Bring it to myself Ignore the dampened shadows That have me running scared True to me and the possibility That wha...

Tradition suggested that we may need a break. Crowns and religions, Exposed as just fake Politicians who tell us that all will be well While smiling so sweetly Party's for sale Crowns made of paper Angels and John Shoes, tattered and skinny Asking Them all If they'll spare you a penny, your house has just gone What about Sheila, What about Ron Can they both have some money They're cars in a pond, Insurance, taxation Scriptures and diction Vocabularies,  Manners  Man made addictions All caught in the maelstrom  Of evolution not fiction. Simples!  AGL

SOLITUDE and THE FARMED

Well that's it out there in the great big world. At first, once the book had been released I was filled with an incredibly potent feeling of fear and dread. What would the reader think? Good stories ? Bad Stories? a multitude of emotions visited me every minute of every single day. Now I find, that although still touched by a tiny amount of nervousness, the over all feeling I have is one of confidence, and a sort of devil may care attitude, I do care what the reader thinks about my work, but, it doesn't really matter as much now, its too late, the bird has flown, the words are free. I believe in my heart that both of the stories are worthy of being read by whoever wishes to spend some time reading. Sure opinions may differ, but my own opinion, though possibly irrelevant, is my own. Available to by online on Amazon.com and on amazon.co.uk, also at Wh Smith and Barnes and Noble as well as from the Author website, AG Leyden /SOLITUDE and THE FARMED. Please enjoy reading as much a...
