Old Barn

Nebnaod

Lean into the wind Old Barn, 

Passed the rust-barbed wire,

Across the ice field,

Deep in the valley,

In the shadows of the Rockies.

 

Black bones bare,

The seasons’ scars,

Fresh as yesterday,

Beneath the cold sun,

The door’s heart swings uncontrolled.

 

Snow piles like memories,

Bending the side,

That has lost its strength,

To fight, to surrender, to succumb,

To a single snowflake.

    Such a beautiful poem that harps on memories and the past. Nostalgic! The experiences the barn had gone through. A well written piece Nebnaod!

    fantastic metaphors
    that surgically impose your imagery
    into slices, taken from our own
    everyday, reality..
    a work, penned
    by a most talented poetic mind..
    this is a brilliant poem, thanks for sharing
    (I read and learn)
