Melbourne Candid Series #1215 Swanston St

 


Bare-chested beneath the awning’s shade,
he sits with his guitar, half in dream—
the strings sigh softly, a golden seam
stitched through the city’s passing parade.

Rain-slick pavement mirrors light,
trams glide by in a silver blur;
his voice, low ember, seems to stir
the air between the day and night.

People pass—umbrellas bloom,
phones glow pale in drifting hands;
yet still he plays, as though he stands
in some cathedral made of gloom.

Unnoticed saint of Swanston Street,
his song spills warm where cold winds meet.

  5. I don't know if he did it well or not, but for whatever reason, he didn't have much of an audience. Good photography and magnificent reflections.

  6. He might be able to make a living with his music, or not. At least he can hang out with his dog. This not a happy scene.

  10. M'agrada molt la música al carrer, tot i que penso que deu ser molt dur.
    Bona reflexió.
    Salutacions, James.
