Homeless in Hastings

 

She’s homeless in Hastings

but every day

She notices the sun rise

 

And though she has nothing

but her breath

She gives thanks, for being alive

 

And the sound of the sea

beats against the

shore,

 

For all the forgotten people

Beauty is all around us

The Earth – The Sea – The Sky – The Universe… always has something ripe and blooming for our discovery. Beauty is all around us. Not to mention, the beauty to be discovered in other souls.

An unsparing portrait that houses volumes of subtext. A subtle explosion that left me haunted and deeply moved. Amazing.

Beauty and desolation – side by side

 

Beauty and desolation – side by side, along many seafront towns nowadays. England – the nation the conquered the sea, hasn’t conquered homelessness.
