A Bright Hello Poem by Liilia Talts Morrison

A Bright Hello

Rating: 4.0


I went a'wandering downtown
Where people milled around
They seemed to while away the hours
Some heading up, some down

There was the lawyer in a suit
Who just had won a case
He sat upon the bootblack's chair
Success basked on his face

Then there were men, in shabby dress
Who traded under wraps
With greasy dollars passing hands
Bound in addiction's traps

But most were just meek passersby
Who worked at humble tasks
Their clothes and eyes expressionless
No pomp, no stealth, no masks

And then I saw the orchid man
In sweaty vendor's clothes
He peddled flowers for a trade
Lined up in ordered rows

Then there appeared in his display
A bright and distant glow
I knew the one who made all blooms
Had sent a bright "Hello."
