---
In the western land, where rustling winds blew
A film was set to shoot, with a talented crew
Alec Baldwin was the star, with great acclaim
But tragedy struck, and left them in pain
Halyna Hutchins, a cinematographer so bright
Lost her life, on that fateful night
It shook the industry, and hearts were heavy
Everyone wondered, how could this happen readily?
But time moves on, and healing takes its course
And finally, resuming filming, is the force
18 months have passed, since that distressing time
Now they're back, to continue their climb
Alec Baldwin, the lead, who's been in the news
Pleads not guilty, to charges two
It's a situation, that's hard to handle
But they'll move forward, filming with a candle
Halyna Hutchins, gone too soon
Her talent will remain like a rising moon
But her memory will stay, forever in hearts
And her light, will shine on each film's parts
The crew, with strength and determination
Will work hard, to finish the production
Their passion for the craft, will drive them through
And the final result, will be something anew
So here's to Rust, and its journey ahead
A tribute to Halyna, who's forever wed
To the film world, that's filled with glamour
But also, with pain, and sometimes clamour
Filming resumes, with a hope to prevail
And for the final outcome, we can't wait to unveil
For the magic on screen, will be an ode
To those who've worked hard, and to Halyna's abode.
