Siren Song

A city park tranforms itself after dark, when the homeless people come out.

         Siren Song

Waves pounding gently
On rocks in the night,
Darkness descending on shadows.
Debris of the day
Lifted by the night breeze,
City lights
Beckon bright
Siren song.

Lost souls trapped
In bodies alive
Walk the night streets,
Shadows imprisoned by pain.
Lost hopes fog the night sky,
Hiding the night stars,
Dreams trampled
By feet in the maze.

Plaintive and feline
Cries rise in the darkness,
To join in the song
Of the night.
Wandering endlessly,
Lost in the darkness,
Tired souls search
For God's healing light.
