The strong survives


The old barn still stands
Rusty tractors sit beside it
Sprawling, green, farm land
is where space doesn't quit
Distant mountains', shadows cast
Miles of freedom lies between
Here and there, time moves fast
A moment of pleasure arrives
Scenery tells many stories,
  - how the strong survives -
