out of monroe
The Barn.
So, my time is near it's end,
The days of future now have come
to pass.
Evening descends,
Arrayed in its callous disregard.
Neglect has reduced me to exposed
and ruined timbers.
Life's storms have sheared
my skin off-
The facade is gone-
The emptiness of ruin
Exposed for all the uncaring
to ignore.
Once a treasure house of varied blessings,
But Time has only selfishly taken
never offering restoration.
Even with the advent of the decay,
Still, Time greedily used me
Until I could offer no more
And then cheaply cast me aside
for another.
Along 88, above the Little Barren,
I collapse in the neglect of
the uncaring.
But.
But, but one has stopped
And enquired of me,
And I feel the flickering warmth
Of Hope one final time.
