72 Leaning Barn - Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

There’s something so incredibly sad about a home or even a shed or out-building in disrepair.

This building is at the corner of Stony Hill and Langhorne Yardley Road. It appears to be leaning to one side as if it were just about ready to lie down.

Here’s a poem I jotted down as I thought about some of these leaning, aging structures I’m finding around Yardley.

When your days gone by outnumber days yet to be

and you reach for the ground from the strain

When your face shows its age

and your frame feels the pain

and your roof will no more shed the rain

When you lean as you stand

with your lines now askew

and you no longer know what you thought that you knew

Find peace in the winds

that you blocked as they blew

all the days you withstood

skies of grey, skies of blue.
