Homeless people drift, devoid of smiles
Their lives in everlasting eclipse
1% Aimlessly tracking they muddle on
Like fallen leaves in whirling gusts
Disconsolate debris on life's tortuous path
The night wind sleeps
When dusk draws its soft veil across the day
Summer's hot blood cools steadily
Withering leaves fight to hold their green
8, As autumn invades the layers of the wind
Past curtained panes seep sheltered light
Evoking thoughts of home through the night
Dampening cheeks with silent tears
5) Awakening pain held through the years
Public quaffing of apathy's perverse brew
Deal death to hope, chase vestiges of truth
Inducing retreat, deep within,
Withdrawal behind lowered heads,
-! Twisting lips in deep despair
In the dark of the moon the homeless trod
9- Walking in torment, distressed, agonizing
The face of night fades
Under the flush of dawn
Despair dissolves with departing dark
Belts are tightened another notch
?3 As their lengthy walk on the other side of love
Journeys into societal indifference
