A Barn Field With Memories

Barn’s beauty doth now seem out of place
Holding but memories of someone’s page

Lone relic image of the days gone by
Of many tears, fears, trouble and toil

Perhaps joys of many jamborees
The echoes of the times would remember

All the whole wide world be but a stage
A personal enigma of life's phase

A barn’s image of many days gone by
Left but mysteries of life’s rehearsal

The sacredness of human essence be gone
Gone from mortal view, but not forgotten

Held securely of Cosmic consciousness
In the master field of sacred memory!!

Wish there ways to preserve these old barns as well as their memories. I do believe in the concept of a cosmic consciousness that records everything. Enjoyed your poem very much, John.

I just read your other red barn poem, John. These two are very similar and I like them both. This one may be a bit easier for some folks to follow, but I think the other has an edge. Thanks for sharing these with us, my friend. Love, Carolyn
