Melbourne Candid Series #1174 Flinders St

 


Beneath the stone of Flinders Street,
An old man moves on steady feet,
A paper map held firm, yet frail,
As if to chart a vanished trail.

Beside him walks a boy of youth,
His grin bright, his step uncouth,
A sun-glass crown upon his hair,
A careless halo, light as air.

Two figures bound by time’s design,
One tracing roads, one yet to find,
Together in the city’s hum
The past and future walk as one.

Melbourne Candid Series #1173 Bourke St Mall

 


Off Bourke Street Mall,
she sits upon a steel bench,
an elderly Asian woman,
hands clasped firm upon her bag
as though it were a small anchor.

Her gaze drifts outward,
past the restless river of shoes,
the tide of passing strangers
that rises, breaks, and folds again.

Behind her, the bench gleams cold;
before her, the city surges on.
She waits in her stillness,
a quiet figure rooted,
while the world keeps hurrying by.

Melbourne Candid Series #1008 Elizabeth St

 


In garb of rare and wondrous thread,
She walks, with grace and beauty spread.
A fashion all her own, distinct,
Where style and elegance are linked.

Melbourne Candid Series #249 Carrington Rd, Box Hill


 

Carrington Rd is filled with Asian eateries. This BBQ shop specialises in bad attitudes. However, the facade looks rather civilised and cultured.
