Sleep....does it need a bed? by amrita21

Sleep....does it need a bed?

Today.... I thank for all that I have....
As I was passing by, of course , sub -conciously... looking out for a picture, I stopped and clicked a picture of sleep.... oblivious of its surroundings.
The waves lapping against the wall, the cars, buses, traffic and all. Clutching onto his prized possessions...
A bottle green....
A metal plate....
A bundle with his home inside it....
A newspaper bundle at his feet....
The sun glorious above him....
A gentle breeze about....
In his world of dreams.....
Sound asleep.....
FAV for me. This is a great capture, especially when accompanied by your poem.

Makes me wonder why I fill my life with so much when it can be so simple.

This makes me thankful for the warm, soft bed I just stumbled out of 5 minutes ago. And safe. Let's not forget I was safe while I slumbered. Nice capture. It certainly makes a person think.

Wonderful photo, Amrita. Along with your poem it is very thought provoking. It does give you pause to be thankful. And then my other thought is this guy is very enterprising. With sleep, possesions and life.

Great pair of photos. Not knowing whether he is there by choice or not makes your poem very thought provoking. He looks very peaceful though.
April 24th, 2013  
What a wonderful capture. He does look very peaceful but in a very strange position xx

@dandolo @psychographer. It is true, he does look peaceful and in a deep slumber, inspite of the strange position. Thank you both for your time and thoughtful comments.
