Upon Lonsdale Street, in twilight's shade,
A weary man, mid-years and grey,
With bottle dark in hand he strayed,
Its label long since peeled away.
A heavy sack upon his arm,
With secrets cloaked in cloth and thread,
He moved with neither haste nor charm,
Where quiet city footsteps led.
His beard was worn by time’s slow tide,
Now streaked with ash, with silver lined,
And through a strolling pair he tried
To weave his path, as if inclined—
By purpose strange, or whims unknown,
He wandered on, yet not alone.

ReplyDeleteAt least
DeleteWonderful photo and poem.
ReplyDeleteNot sure when I will run out of juice
DeleteEse hombre parece de aquellos que viven su vida de manera un tanto nómada. Pero es verdad que las apariencias a veces engañan.
ReplyDeleteExactly
Delete...carrying all of his worldly possessions?
ReplyDeleteAlmost very likely
DeleteLooks like a homeless...
ReplyDeleteI wasn't too sure
DeleteThere are homeless people in every city, most of whom suffer from mental health issues and addictions.
ReplyDeleteI've worked in that field, and it's a complicated problem.
You have worked in a very noble job
DeleteThis man's face shows years of experience, but we can not tell what his life or future holds from this street photo. It's always a question which your photo poses elegantly.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it helps with human connection in a way
DeleteHe looks a bit tired. So many people still using plastic bottles.
ReplyDeleteMicroplastics are a problem
DeleteDrinking water 🚰 is very good 👍

ReplyDeleteLa botealla se ve que tiene agua. Es necesario tener siempre una buena hidratación.
ReplyDeleteFeliz fin de semana.
I hope he is okay. He does look content.
ReplyDeleteTodo lo que posee lo lleva encima. La vida es dura para algunos. Gran foto.
