Melbourne Candid Series #1159 Bourke St Mall

 


A young man stands where footsteps stream,
Bourke Street hums, a midday dream.
With fingers dancing, smooth and slow,
He plays the keys in steady flow.

A tattoo winds along his skin,
A tale inked deep, a song within.
He sings with soul, his voice laid bare,
The city pauses, caught mid-air.

Coins may fall, or glances stray,
Yet still he plays the day away—
One man, one sound, one fleeting spark,
A melody that lights the dark.

  1. Hello Roentare!
    I haven't been here for a while. I admit I missed you because I really enjoy your street scenes. When I travel, I always support street musicians because what they do is great.
    Greetings from faraway Poland:)

  5. Good shot! That street musician must be a one-man band, since I also see a guitar at the ready.
