Leonard the Ledgend
 

May you find her and make all the peace your life has given to deserve...



You will be deeply missed. Thank you for the many magical nights watching you spin the world, mine and others, into a better place. Respect!

May as well post some early stuff too....this song is EPIC. Slap on some headphones and listen to the end if you've never heard it.

Bronco this is where I found this man...i was in a dark place at best..im old and still into that;)



Pure Poetic Genius

He was a Buddhist and lived each day as if it might be the last fully knowing that one day it would be...

Today was that day!

Sorry for the typo in the thread title, I'm a wood worker with an ear for the Greats.....never could spell, just love to hear the words threaded like magical chords >Music!

Your a cynical bastard? I like that:thumbsup

Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc
as she came riding through the dark;
no moon to keep her armour bright,
no man to get her through this very smoky night.
She said, "I'm tired of the war,
I want the kind of work I had before,
a wedding dress or something white
to wear upon my swollen appetite."

Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way,
you know I've watched you riding every day
and something in me yearns to win
such a cold and lonesome heroine.
"And who are you?" she sternly spoke
to the one beneath the smoke.
"Why, I'm fire," he replied,
"And I love your solitude, I love your pride."

"Then fire, make your body cold,
I'm going to give you mine to hold,"
saying this she climbed inside
to be his one, to be his only bride.
And deep into his fiery heart
he took the dust of Joan of Arc,
and high above the wedding guests
he hung the ashes of her wedding dress.

It was deep into his fiery heart
he took the dust of Joan of Arc,
and then she clearly understood
if he was fire, oh then she must be wood.
I saw her wince, I saw her cry,
I saw the glory in her eye.
Myself I long for love and light,
but must it come so cruel, and oh so bright?

2016. What a cunt of a year.

Miss you man....again

Well Marianne, it’s come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine. And you know that I’ve always loved you for your beauty and your wisdom, but I don’t need to say anything more about that because you know all about that. But now, I just want to wish you a very good journey. Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road.

there will never be another.

this album got me through some hard times..thanks, Leonard.

That whole passage made me re think my life and my direction. I made a good choice and can only hope that the love I have for my decision is as strong as his.....just Epic his work, yet so many will never see it??

A talented artist,poet,songwriter . RIP Leonard
