A Faithful Old Barn

***** and secure, yet weathered and worn

Faithfully it stood surviving the storms

Cracking and peeling … its colors are muted

Stubbornly standing yet obviously wounded

Absorbing abuse for those in her shelter

Unobtrusively stands against all ghostly specter”

My sister lives on a large piece of property upon which is beautifully weathered barn. I photographed it and this short poem flowed out after meditating a bit on the photo.
