Days Past And Forgotten
This silo was long ago part of a farmstead who’s life passed. And with it the memories of the harvest. Or the hands that built it. It still stands firm and true. No one is using it anymore nor is anyone tilling the lands.. All is growing over with time.. But it looked so grand in the snow fall.. A lost memory to share perhaps in your heart and mind..
This photo inspired owlspook to send this to me. I think it made me go into my dream land to try to imagine how this world can talk to us through others.
I hope you take time to read her words.

the cry is heard all around
town folk feeling smug
as a bug in a rug
no more hard work
no more getting up at 4am
to milk the cows
no more
no more
yet
behind the shade
in the window of the house
third from the willow tree
a little girl
with dreams in her eyes
sees the fields
and the orchards
and silently she sings
although no one is left
to hear her voice

Hi there Chuck, this is such a great shot. Silos bring back a lot of memories when I lived in Ontario. You don’t see these wonderful storage units as often anymore. Too bad. ~Val

Thanks Val for stopping in to ponder and say such kind things..
