The Red Barn Remembers
The red barn stands, silhouetted against the sky.
A tree wraps its young limbs about her
as if to protect her from time and age.
Her roof is sagging, color faded ,
An errant plume of red along her frame.
.
Yet, proudly she stands, remembrance of a happy time.
Shelter from the rain, children
Playing in her hair, lovers hiding in her shadows.
Beauty I see now, not bright, not boastful.
With dignity and respect she bows to age.
Nigel Borrington 
Just beautiful, Nigel. (words & images)

As a less romantic sort of guy – I was wondering what came first the halo or the barn? I can imagine the sort of panic I’d have trying to fit something to the halo. Nice.
