leaning against the tree by the road?
Perhaps he has a comfortable home
where he could have been resting
but chose to be out in the sun
dozing the way I remember my Grandpa
in a comfortable chair by the fire
late on Sunday afternoons not sleeping
but closing the curtain on the world
ignoring the complications of family.
If he is without a place to sleep,
all of us who rest safe and secure
surrounded by people who love us
must want for him what we have.

Poignant thoughts. Happy for him that he can find sleep under a tree, not many of have the time, nor the courage :)
Beautiful.
