Homeless on a Park Bench in Spring by kevin365

Homeless on a Park Bench in Spring

A stillness surrounds
And reminds me that this could be anywhere
And there are so many anywheres that this could be

And the memories abound
And I have been everywhere
So I believe I'll just sit here and think about me

I will rouse in a moment
And continue my search
For the pieces of life that I must rearrange

And raise up my hopes
and lower my head
As I seek for the reason and ask you for Change

Interesting pic - looks like there are holes. Words seem like you are in a bit of a vortex too? Nothing wrong with thinkin'. Thanks for the cool bench shot!

I can't think of anyone else whose photos consistently beg me to look again...and then read once more...before leaving a comment. These "nameless people of the park bench" are everywhere in our midst. Cynically, I see some as charlatans, but you can recognize the real thing when you see it and I respond to that. I pity most, the homeless I don't see, as they don't live in this warm climate, the only saving grace in some lives...

@Weezilou Thank you for taking so much of your time, Louise, really! I was touched today by 3 different folks of the Invisible and those experiences stuck with me. I did not have them in mind when I took this shot. They will be in my mind more often, I'm sure.
April 9th, 2015  
Kevin you have a very eloquent way of expressing yourself and your photographs. I completely agree with Louise. Fav!
April 9th, 2015  
@thirdjoe I really appreciate your input, Joe! It spurs me on for sure. Thanks for that

Kevin this rings bells on so many levels, homelessness, peace, deep thought, quiet contemplation. The words are just right for the photo, again. Well done and keep them coming.
April 9th, 2015  
Gorgeous shot with a powerful message. Love the title. Fav
April 9th, 2015  
Nice perspective and simple elegance.
April 9th, 2015  
Kevin, I think your photos and thoughts would make a wonderful book of reflections.
April 9th, 2015  
lovely message and image.I agree with @mzbull a book......
April 9th, 2015  
This is a powerful image as are the words that go with it. I had taken a few images of the homeless in Chicago and did end up posting one -- it's important to recognize that having a safe place is not a given for far too many.
April 9th, 2015  
Great image and words kevin.
April 9th, 2015  
Nicely composed! I like it in B&W!

Wind from the north and the sky aches with gray
Weather wisdom comes with age is not for me to say
(The air as still as forests, the sky as my soul is blue
Somewhere is a river where the berries grow for you)
