As the earth starts quaking
the trees start shaking
Leaves tremble down in the harsh breeze
How terrifying is the merciless ease
The house is coming down with a smack
All the windows begin to crack
Animals run about in a scurry
The humans follow out in a hurry
Your shallow thoughts reach for all that's inside
Your tremulous feet move forward leaving behind all pride
A loved one grabs you and holds you down
They say take notice of what's around
The registration of the scene racks your brain
bringing about a searing pain
You fall to your knees
Broken, you plead
Your entire body is filled with ache
And suddenly, your dreams ends and you're awake.
