Homeless

Portrait In the window

Visions in the dark

Loneliness in disguise

Benches in the park

 The numbers are growing

Whispering time and again

Media portrays sorrow

The truth is never let in

Listen as the feet shuffle

Hair is falling down

Stomachs are growling

Coats pulled around

Feel the rivers flowing

Raging around their ears

Weather is not an issue

Only outsiders fears

Handouts on the corner

Cardboard in the alley

Walk in kitchen supper

Where hearts do often rally

Feel the winter wind blowing

Wrapped in frozen panes

Still they keep on walking

On and on again
