the elements of time


The hard wooden pole
It stands the heat of the sun and time
The years of rain and sunlight
It never cries but holds it steady

The contraction begins
The hairline cracks appear
Though it looks artistic
The broken lines on its body

The timber paint frayed
With the onslaught of heat and rain
It stands challenging of the hardened weather
Of time it takes its toll

Now roll a new coat of paint
It takes the shine for another good day
The heat and rain will come in no time
The wooden pole stands steady once more
