Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Free verse

How Do You Feel

There was a deep feeling 
of foreboding settled 
in the pit of my stomach,
when Providence laid
a benevolent hand on my shoulder—
       The old faceless man with
       the scythe takes a step back.

A beautiful day dawned
and I breathed a shaky sigh.
