Written on the wall

Written on the wall

I love you!
A salve for lonely hearts,
those who push shopping carts
filled with dirty sleeping bags,
aluminum cans and other found treasures.
I love you!
Written to all of us who wander
by the 18th Street bridge abutment,
our heads down, rich or poor,
happy or sad, those with faith and
those without. The answer
is right in front of us.
The answer is love.
