Roadside PresenceA Poem by Naveen Dennis BarnabasEvery step I took pulled me away from the life I lived. Every move that I took made me feel more nauseous. I could feel the earth shake below me. No one to guide me, No one to comfort me For I was now all alone Flashes of light zooming past me made me realize the pace at which life moves, And how short life is. The stars in the midnight sky look down upon me The grains of sand on the sidewalk was shimmering in the moonlight Made me feel something that I’ve never felt before I was not alone; I was just indifferent to the presence around me The 'presence' that gave me a different view on my current predicament It gave me a sense of excitement and thrill; As opposed to the feeling of humiliation and embarrassment that I felt without it It gave me a sense of hope and direction. I didn’t get what I wanted, but I got what I needed Something that could change me, Something that could renew me, Something that I was searching for all along I now have peace.
