Roadside Presence


Every 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.

God's purpose

I saw you struggle through life;
I saw you getting frustrated with life's failures.
I wanted to explain life to you;
About life's purpose.
If only you'd listen,
You cry out for help
Yet you don't believe, 
That change is possible. 
The past is dead.
Accept me into your life
And your life's purpose will be revealed to you. 
Worldly desires are like a disease;
They spread and take over you
To the point than you have no control;
They are never satisfied. 
Put your faith in me
And know that your life is in my hands
I'll show you true happiness
Happiness that fills you with peace and satisfaction
Happiness that comes from fulfilling your purpose.
