torn man down on his luck.

Denied life and liberty,

a sign by his feet.

Faded memories of a hand so strong,

simple needs torn from him like a strong ocean gust.

Down on rd avenue,

Is anyone there anymore?

TIME, NOT A FRIEND to the homeless,

food a luxury among the poor folks of the rich land.

Standing by trash,

underneath the light of the city law.

Chased away by coins and sneers,

to die alone in a field of forgotten Burger King wrappers.

Rain falls to cleanse the streets of the sleeping and drunks,

torn coat among the fashion breaks.

Thrown aside like a faded marriage.

Is anyone out there anymore?

A FEW COINS PAUSE IN midair,

to bring life to the man.

A warm sandwich from an angel with a hidden face,

but her tears fall. 

He feels her sorrow,

he knows her pain.

He smiles gently without alcohol on his breath,

a torn look of despair brighten by a moment.

A warming cup of coffee handed down,

a prayer with a man down the street.

Is anyone watching what God is doing here?

Alone no more on rd avenue.

silent moments at death.

Dreamy visions swirl around us,

a tear drop to the
