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~

Very vivid poem. I can almost see the picture that would come from it. Really glad that you are getting better. A candle still burns for your complete recovery.
A wonderful reading here of a story that only u could think of: and your feeling some what better that's even better news or I know you wouldn't be posting: god bless you and thanks for the wonderful poem: my brother inlaw is not well enough for chemo and I'm not to sure he will want it anyway: but chin up sweets were all pulling strenght in your direction!~
So glad to hear that you are doing well and gaining weigh. Have you investigated alternative (natural) medicine? I hear that it has helped to some people. Beautiful poem!
Beautiful, thank you for sharing :)
That's just beautiful Susan! I'm so happy you will be well again! Wonderful barn poem! I wrote one ages ago similar to it..yours is more beautiful.
That is a very beautiful poem. I am so glad they got all of the cancer out for you. If you do have to have the chemo, know that our prayers are still for your full recovery. I'm feeling better each day. The medicine the doctor has me on is very strong, and makes me very sleepy all of the time. That's why I haven't posted much.
It sure is a poem we can all relate to, excellent work! Get well soon!
love your poem. You create a wonderful image. Nice Job!!!!
This is excelllent !!! It is a perfect description of a barn that was my grandparents in NH and then went to my mother and now to my siblings. It is very old and one sibling does not want to pay for foundation and siding repairs to it is going back to nature. You poem has brought up a wistful sadness thinking of that old barn that used to be the hub of so much goings on....animals, and children playing...and my childhood. I loved that barn and still do but when I go in it, this poem is how I feel and I leave feeling sad that what was, is no more. Thank you for sharing this. It has touched a very deep place in me.
My dear Susan, First of all I want to congratulate you on a perfect writing. I'm glad they got all the cancer out. Now now luv, I know how bad the chemo is. Mom's in the middle of her 7th one. Yeah... 7th :( But I agree with Sekadhar. When the Drs still have hope, you should have hope too! If your CA count was low enough for them to operate, you're almost there already don't you think? You are still in my prayers dear Susan. Keep us posted on the developments mmm?
Excellent work, very touching! I enjoyed browsing your gallery... very talented written works, beautiful photos and an excellent array of graphic images! Best wishes and continued success in beating that awful disease. p.s. Nice to meet you too! :)
