The Old Gray Barn

You stand alone
Weathered and torn
Overgrown by weeds and thorns
There is something about you
That I cannot explain-
A mystique that draws me in
As I sit and gaze upon you
You give me a sense of belonging
In a world without understanding
You are the one constant in my life
That gives me peace and not strife
You're more to me than just the
Gray old barn

This was like a painting with words. If your words were pigments, they would be vivid and attractive.
