Pavement Trip
by Walter Jones (Age: 62)
copyright 01-08-2008


Age Rating: 1 to 127

 
Authors note: Many are the homeless that walk the streets with their carts pushing from one place to the next. Everything they own is inside. Often fringe people, just not quite enough to have a permanent place to stay.


Trips of mercy please be kind
guide the feelings deep inside

Hold me close in your mind

As I find my way
I walk with him today

Talk of good times

Wonder living in the new view
watch as suns find flowers hue

Trips of mercy please be kind

All the joys of life
likes the street

The people view

Cart it goes in the view of slow
anger forces legs like pegs go

All is owned in the steel mind

We share a drink
a gentle think

A sandwich too

Voice rings in the view of smile
Walks another twenty miles

Trips of mercy please be kind

Look for him in the dawn
but he and his cart

They are gone

Sleep is with a view on a warm grate
See the wonder of the garden gate

All is owned in the steel mind

See the world view
a bit different too

Makes sense

Trips of mercy please be kind
beauty is his gift left inside

Peace is within his mind

Good to read your work again, my dear old friend!
This one evokes memories of some of my own writings about the homeless - you handled it very well with that haunting refrain of "trips of mercy" - repitition can be a powerful tool in making a point in poetry.

Walt: Thanks for helping us remember the folks, unlike thousands of roaring football fans in zero weather, wearing three sets of worn clothes and an old field jacket from war days. Their meals are cold left-overs from the warm and elegant cafe on the street. Their beds are concrete doorways of culverts. Thanks for causing me to look a second time when passing one on the street. There but the grace of God......dale
