I Stood There Waiting Poem by Parameswaran K V

I Stood There Waiting

Rating: 5.0


I stood there waiting
for a gap in the traffic
to cross the highway.

Lives rushed on throbbing
from the hoary past,
through looming future,
to unknown destinies, far away.

Till their steps staggered,
raised hands groped in the void
to help the collapse on the tarmac.

Ages passed to centuries,
years, days and moments
while I stood.
