Dismantling

During a short walk I took Thanksgiving evening, 

I saw an old barn that was being dismantled.

The barn's colors and shape are beautiful and in the light 

of the setting sun, it seemed more alive and vital 

than many newer buildings around it.

Long fallen into disuse, it is sad to see the structure 

being dismantled, but good to know that its timbers and

siding are being passed on for use in other projects.
