An Earthquake Passes

***An earthquake passes

Beneath my toes

An unsettling notion

Is left in my heart

As thoughts of concern

Race by like 2 ton trucks

An empty freight train

May shake a small town

However the frenzied freight truck

Shakes my nerve

Serving up appetite for destruction

Watching with watchful eye

Seeing itty bitty houses fall to the ground

Like a house of cards being blown over

Once the appetite is fulfilled

My notions will be settled

Once and for all

Justice, Peace at last

Resetting happiness

To the beginning of

A brand new day

Where love settles in the hills

Looking over the tip top of the mound

You notice the sun shining

Brightly***
