Melbourne Candid Series #1177 De Graves St

 


Amid the hum of De Graves Street,
A young chap lets his eyes retreat,
Footsteps drum in rhythmic flow,
Yet stillness blooms where he lets go.

Faces blur and voices rise,
He finds a calm beneath the skies,
In the crowded pulse of day’s parade,
A quiet pause, unafraid.

  1. Your street photo is the perfect example of alone in a crowd. We all fear being isolated socially in an ever more crowded world.

  5. Good to tune out sometimes, especially in such a busy city Nice. I love that last line of the poem that captures it well
