Description
In the middle of a forgotten field,
surrounded by a rusted fence
a gray barn stands alone,
Gone are the sounds that rang from
earthen floor to empty loft~
The rotten leather horse collar
has long since
fallen from the wall and lies
dust covered with other
remnants of time~
Sunlight filters through
the cracks and splits in
bare walls that still hold
the whispered secrets
of first loves and
solemn promises~
And as darkness settles in,
wilderness...
in her own style,
reclaims what no one else
wants any longer~

This is a wonderful poem. The way you have described the barn, makes it so clear in my minds eye like I am right there looking at it.You have a very descriptive and creative style of writing. Glad that you are feeling better. Prayers and best wishes for a total recovery.

i can see why this softly evocative, wistful piece won an award - it's beautiful susan! almost more than the visual, it was the swish-crunch of walking through hay strewn about on the creaking floor planks and the vague lingering smell of leather i was transported to as i read it... wonderfully realized! hugs, michael
