Dumpsters overflow
Filled with our throwaways
Homeless begging
For food in ragged clothes
As the sea consumes trash

Tag: homeless
Fall Walk in the City
Scarlet leaf,
Such vibrant color,
Lay silently
In my path,
Soon to be one among many
Detached from life,
Unless help comes…
A helping hand reaches
And picks up
Broken dreams,
Offering to be the glue
That restores life.
