The Old Barn Down the Lane

        Filtered sunlight swirls
through weathered cracks in the walls
            a winter haven

           Cat lays in the hay
     licking kittens as they drink
            a content tenant

       Owls and swallows roost
   keeping watch from the rafters
        no mice dare scamper

         Sun sets behind hills
  eyes open wide and feathers fluff
          its time for dinner
