Earthquake

EARTHQUAKE The earth shook violently… Everyone rushed out of their homes And took shelter in the open! One man Kept sleeping And, snoring Amidst chaos And, confusion Created by the earthquake For him, It was like the ‘mother earth’ Rocking the son of her soil In the cradle And, singing lullaby to him!

It reminds me of my husband during hurricane nights here in Florida, he sleeps all night and I can't sleep, thinking about all the bad things that can happen. Over the years I have improved, now I can sleep better during a hurricane. Great poem!
