On Bourke Street Mall where the city hums,
And midday light on pavement drums,
A young man stands with cap drawn low,
Beside an elder, moving slow.
She rests upon a striped bench, still,
Her hands upon the frame she fills—
A four-wheeled guide through time and pace,
While crowds pass by without a face.
He leans in close, a gentle grace,
Perhaps a word, perhaps embrace.
No need for praise or loud acclaim,
Just quiet care without a name.
Among the trams and hurried feet,
Two lives in stillness gently meet—
A moment soft, of silent art,
Drawn not in speech, but open heart.

Conversation on the bench in a crowded corner of Melbourne.
ReplyDeleteThe vibe is a bit strange
DeleteYou are good.
ReplyDeleteYour photo caught an intense moment where he was trying to make a serious point. His expression is almost threatening as he invade her social space. I hope she did not put up with his guff.
ReplyDeleteNot a good frame of our society
DeleteI think they have a secrete. I really like this photo.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has a secret
DeleteVery good street scene, full of sensitivity!
ReplyDeleteNot too sure about the intention
DeleteThey're having a good conversation although it seems that he is looking elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteHalf hearted
DeleteI am not too sure what is going on. It looks like he is staring deep into her eyes!
ReplyDeleteThe moment before murder scene?
DeleteCould be yeah. Looking at it again today, maybe he is seeing if she has something in her eye or on her glasses?!
DeleteAn intense conversation.
ReplyDeleteThe grandson took oma out for some fresh air?
ReplyDeleteDialogue in the open air.
ReplyDeleteYou captured a truly unique moment beautifully. Thank you for sharing it with us! 💫
ReplyDeleteFrom the look on his face I don't think there will be an embrace. He appears to be upset. However the poem is very nice.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a very expressive moment. Good timing.
ReplyDeleteSuperb street candid capture!
