There They Stand


Photograph by: Ryan Egan - Rocky Reflections

There they stand
with cries unheard…
or heard, better yet
by those who want to hear.
The frailty of their minds and souls
lingers quietly…
Everywhere.

Their gaze cast down
with pallid faces and empty looks,
They have nothing to say, nothing to do.
They are lost in confusion and purpose.
The poor, the homeless,
the myriad who are sick -
can indeed be seen
if we simply look.

~Viola Jaynes
