Quake

Silent was my world that morn
Waiting on the light of dawn
Then with vengeance mother nature speaks
I hear her, frown beneath my feet!

The windows rattled in the light
As I was thrown, in morning flight
Shaken earth, had caused my fear
A whisper, like the end was near!

Then I witnessed, as the lights grew dim
Flickering at earthly whim
The world was thrown into the dark
And I was fearful for my heart!

To wander in the darkened void
To feel my life essence destroyed
Was it now my destiny?
To walk in heavens ecstasy!

While I wrote this, my world was shaking
Only difference today there's light and nothing breaking
In the darkness, I felt my heart
And there was silence in that dark

Waiting for the sun to rise
Tired and weakened, compromised!
Was there rubble in the streets
That I would walk, with earthly feet?
