After the Shock

Poem Artwork

After the shock:
dizzying days followed by
suspension of disbelief.

Disillusioned, I dismissed myself
and denied the soul you distanced
from its source.

Disorientation
had me stumbling through
a series of scenes where
I did not belong, losing my way
and believing I had lost my heart.

How I longed to sleep it off,
yet I would awaken day by day
abuzz with vague awareness
that something was not
quite right.

Amid the rubble,
I stand confused by
all that crumbles still
within my shaken soul.

shaken world... The initial quake is often not the most terrible part, but the aftershocks... those rumblings that affect the soul so deeply and cause us to continually question if we will ever be whole again. How well I know these feelings in my world that was so recently shaken...
