My heart went out to this homeless man who I recently photographed in the sunny seacoast town of Monterey, California.
Without home to call his own
He lay down beside his friend,
The old cannery wall
Both abandoned from some
Long ago time of prosperity
The sun gave them kisses of warmth
The sea lulled them into repose.

I do remember that picture – so sad. How lucky we are.
Yes, we are so blessed!
The only good thing I can say is at least he’s in California, not here in Chicago where he’d be freezing.

There’s always something to be thankful for.
Beautiful prose mom! I would like to think the gentleman is simply narcoleptic.
Much love!!
Thank you, Amber. I only meant to post the picture and then these words came tumbling out of my heart and onto the page. I like to think he is enjoying a life of abandon rather than one of abandonment.
Oh Annie . . . . your words have such warmth.
Thank you, Patti!
The Man is probably doing both, living a life of abandon, whilst being abandoned by society.
That my friend is difinately a dichotomy. Your photo made me sigh. 😦
It is definitely ambiguous.
You have a way with words like no other! Your poetry is always so beautiful.
Thank you, Arianna! It comes through me from another place of magic and wonder.
