"The Door"

[Preacherman]

THE DOOR

Who, when the doors of industry close,
And adopt a redundant pose,
Will ever walk through them again?

A mouse?
A rat?.
A moth?
A knat?
Or merely the wind and rain?

Never a miller, a joiner, a smith,
for these will it's hinges creak.

More likely a squatter,
A vandal,
A theif,
With no love for the secrets it keeps.

Yet another door on a derelict barn near where I live, that inspired me to write this tribute to it. Writing tributes to doors??? Am I going crazy? If so, bring it on! Hope you like it. God bless for now. PAUL

PS. Thanks Mike for the inspiration and encouragement. PRB

I just love finding cool old doors and windows like these. So much to wonder about it.

Yes, you don't need much imagination to ponder on both who built it and who has walked through it. If only they could speak. GBFN. PAUL
