The way

-
We are born
We Live
We die

No real evidence otherwise

Within those years that we remain here
Decisons made
Though not always clear

We take a path
Despite ourselves
With heroic intent
Or driven by fear

We choose those friends
With wholm comfort is greatest
Lovers met
Vocations tendered

Moral judgements
Well meant and honourable
look after our bodies
Care for the vulnerable?

From a babe
Up to a man
We learn to walk
We balance and stand
Follow on
Or lead from the front
When the time is right
We leap and jump
Passionately embracing
Something coveted

Fall away
Become unstable

Make mistakes
Learn
Enable

When we get old
Darkness and light
Life departs
Our souls take flight

Memories come rushing in
The good the bad
The uncertain
Then with peace close to our hearts
We go to sleep

One last time

What happens to all
That we have kept inside
Those images vivid
The data vast
As a human
Organic
 Machine
Built to survive
Not to last

  Please stay healthy
Lest you go early
Eat if you can
Hale and hearty
In moderation
Enjoy the party
Life is short

Dear departed

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...
