Earthquake

I live in a serene world,

where the streams are still

and the mountains soar effortlessly into the sky.

So make the very ground I stand on uncertain,

make the rocks tumble off the mountain tops

and the trees uproot right before my eyes.

Make the blue waters ripple and splash,

and make the ground tear apart.

Make my world shake---

be my earthquake.
