Rust

by Philip F De Pinto



there is more beauty

and more fealty in a thing

taken on rust

whose sod and spirit has been broken

than in the godless - stainless steel we trust

never to mottle or breach or come to seed

I've come back to this many times, that process that touches us all. Elegantly stated. Thanks!
