The old barn
time wearied,
all but completely disintegrated,
a familiar sight
on well trodden path;
a sentinel to a time gone by.

An ancient remnant
crooked and bent,
missing more slats than
are still remaining,
more light shining through it
than not.

Dear old barn,
friend to another traveler
a poignant reminder
in your aging beauty,
I hope my light
shines as brightly.
