Steel Boundaries

the feel of cold steel

set out in the open

for what was once so hot

is now dead metal

tinged with flaked rust

from the weather

strong as before

ever standing

against the elements

longer than me

vegetation growing

swamping the steel

twisting round each bar

as it takes over

hiding boundaries

from the future

each pointed piece

poking through leaves

black against the green

soon to disappear!

crafted on a forge

shaped on an anvil

metal creation

stand the test of time!
