Notes About The Poem

Old Barn

New webs spreading
in my past years
that remain in the barn.
An old barn that witnessed
our games of a childhood
reflected in a mirrow
showing the faces of happiness.

Spread webs turned into a nightmare.
Not easy to remember the old 
barn where I used to play.
Not easy to remember my old friends jumping on the dry grass kept in the barn.

I'm trapped on a web,
I can't remember how happy I was.
I only remember the old barn and a few friends jumping happily.
The old barn is still there,
but the friends I never saw them again.

This poetic masterpiece is a kaleidoscope of deep emotions and childhood memories. It has powerful metaphors and intense passion. Our thoughts are best expressed via such great poetry as our feelings change.
