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.

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.

A second depiction of him walking, for he strides with such confidence and suave elegance.
His movements are marked by an effortless grace that captivates the eye. There is a distinguished air about him, a blend of assurance and refinement that harkens back to a time when elegance was paramount.

He was once a familiar figure, but since the onset of COVID, he has not been seen. Not homeless, he was renowned among Melbourne's city photographers—a retired academic possessing several properties. Yet, he chose to live without a roof, embracing the outdoors as his dwelling.
His absence now evokes contemplation about the profound impacts of the pandemic on individual lives. Electing to forgo traditional comforts despite ample means suggests a quest for freedom or a deeper connection with the world unconfined by walls.

It appears the man bun and unkempt style remain in vogue. Personally, I favour the clean-cut appearance.
It's intriguing how fashion trends ebb and flow over time. The resurgence of the man bun and a more rugged look perhaps signifies a shift towards embracing individuality and a laid-back ethos.
