A penny in his hat...

[Andie]

Some of you have seen it, most of you have not..
So i thought i might post here too..

A penny in his hat...

A man, sitting alone on a corner.
Hat in front of him.
His whole body shaking.
The urge for stillness growing stronger.

People passing by. No one wants to see him.
Every passing minute desperation builds.
Eyes looking for a solution, trying so hard.

Snow is falling, heavy and wet.
How beautiful it would be to look at.
If you had a window to look out through.

A man, sitting alone on a corner.
Hat in front of him.
He's not shaking anymore.
Urge gone, desperation too.

Atleast he got a penny in his hat before he left.

Terrific Andie..... the meaning is not lost, very powerful. Is this yours, and if so, please ask Diva to edit it with a credit, so we know the source?

This one keeps drawing me back. Haunting, almost disturbing, very good.... Like Jake said, it makes you think.......
