Melbourne Candid Series #1017 Collins St

 


Through streets of gold where merchants call,
She wandered light ‘neath evening’s thrall.
With weary gaze and laden hands,
She left behind the bustling stands.

And as my shutter caught the scene,
Her eyes shut soft, lost in between.
Through heavy glasses, she turned away,
A fleeting ghost of spent-out day.

Melbourne Candid Series #1016 Swanston St

 


The tram rolls forth through evening’s haze,
Its weary load in tight embrace.
With sighs and shuffles, hands hold tight,
As city hums in fading light.

Through clinking rails and crowded air,
The rush of feet is everywhere.
A daily tide, both fast and slow,
Through Melbourne’s heart, they come and go.

Melbourne Candid Series #1015 Swanston St


Upon his brow, the shadows lay,
As if the night had stolen day.
His weary eyes, so dim, so worn,
Like stars that fade before the morn.

One glance might guess, with softened sight,
He’s wrestled long against the night.
Yet here he stands, though frail and deep,
A soul adrift on tides of sleep.

Melbourne Candid Series #1014 Bourke St Mall

 


Upon a bench in city’s thrall,
Just off the path of Bourke St Mall,
A crusted roll in hand so tight,
With flavors rich and pure delight.

The crunch, the taste, a midday treat,
With herbs and spice both fresh and sweet.
A simple feast, yet none compare,
To Banh Mi savored in the air.

Melbourne Candid Series #1013 Swanston St

 


Upon the green by knowledge grand,
A lively crowd takes rest at hand.
With meals in lap and laughter bright,
They bask beneath the noon’s warm light.

The books stand tall in silent keep,
As voices dance and moments steep.
A midday pause, so free, so fair,
As life and learning breathe the air.

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 #1004 The Cause Way

 


Amidst the dim glow of the tavern’s bulbs, a man sat in quiet repose. A well-worn leather jacket draped his shoulders, its creases telling stories of time and wear.

Before him, a glass of amber liquid caught the light.

He neither spoke nor acknowledged the murmured conversations around him—lost in the silent communion between drink and thought. And the phone.

Melbourne Candid Series #999 Melbourne Central

 


Upon these streets where souls do meet, In endless streams they place their feet, From every realm, all walks of life, They weave together, joy and strife.

With varied dreams and paths they've known, They tread the stones of urban throng, In this grand tapestry, untold, Their tales of wonder now unfold.

So rich the chorus, sweet and grand, Of life’s own symphony, unplanned, In streets where countless lives convene, A timeless dance, a living scene.
