rust you say!
Nay it is art…
under the majesty of the sky
the temperament of the clouds
the treasure lay,
surrounded by a crowd of flowers
lush and green waving in the breeze
cheerfully saying hello to passersby
oh… for a closer look
checking mirrors back and front,
I pulled over to seek my treasure out
not gems that gleam in the sun
but a sturdy piece of artwork
that has been lovingly blessed each day
by natures wonderful expressions
(most call it weather)
set in concrete for all to see,
this piece of art has grown lovelier with each passing season
I can’t say for sure, but I would guess
that not many are struck by its beauty
or come to admire, yet pass it each day
such is life, in French there is a saying
“to each his/her own”
You see rust, you say! Lad show me the way!

Instead of worrying, do something about it..
It doesn’t help to over think situations such as, “What if this happens?” or “Things might end up that way.” Instead be proactive and change how you see and do things in each situation.

I travel far and near to find a tree, usually when I do find one that will chat with me, he lives with cousins near by who are also willing to spin a yarn or two.
Oh goodness me child, how nice of you to stop and visit. We can wait from dawn to dusk to be noticed, but find, we are old, and worn, so no one stops to visit anymore. They come with their dogs and walk right by, they head for open spaces.
Freddy down the way, will be glad of some company, he gets few tenants these days, not even the dogs that come this way, use us anymore to mark their way.
Down the bend, to the right, you will see a path beside Uncle John. The leaves are crisp you will enjoy the sound as they say thank you for your trust in accepting their guidance as you walk the unknown path.
Please come again, your shadow is growing taller, In a few months when you come again, we will be able to show you much more of our world. Then we will see your shadow in the snow. till then, your shadow imprint, will remain for a while, leaving us smiling, because you shared with us.
