Echoes of Homelessness
Stories from the Streets

They live in the shadow of skyscrapers, Nomads of the concrete, without a bell to call their own, no place to lay their weary heads, no softness to sway.
Their days a canvas of endless roam, A search for solace, a place to call home. But likes and between fingers, it slips away Leaving them with nothing but another day.
Their nights a symphony of city sounds, A melancholy lullaby that echoes all around. Rustle of leaves, hum of the street, A constant reminder of their nomadic beat.
Their stories are etched upon the lines of their face, A topography of trials, a map of their pace. Their eyes are a window to the soul so bright a beacon of hope in the dark of night.
Yet still they hold on to the threads of their dreams, A glimmer of hope, a light that beams. A place to belong, a place to rest .
This is their own home, where love resides best.
Thanks

I had a really long conversation with a homeless man the other day, and this poem feels spot on. Authentic, and sad. Good job
Oh heartfelt. A social commentary.
