Earthquakes

Looked up falt lines on the internet
Found out information that I regret
Now I am shaking in my boots
Living life is not a party hoot

Be ready for at any time, quake
And life as we know it will take
A plunge into the past forsake
Be ready at all times don't hesitate

Sara, You have said it well... "Be ready! God in the heart is a must! The faithful are protected through trust. Dead or alive, He will stay by our side if we have upon the righteous trail, a ride. Love to you, Dane Ann

Yes, Sara, thank you for sharing your lines with us. I experienced myself several earthquakes in ranges of 5 to 6 Richter Scale, but luckily was never harmed. I can tell though it is a terrible feeling being within a quake. Here we don't have earthquakes but sometimes heavy storms. Thank you for your kind comments. Keep writing...Gert

Dare I assume Sara that you live somewhere in the state of California? Yes be ready at all times but without paranoia. Life's too short. Try to enjoy every moment. Another great piece and thanks for all of your past comments on my work. Best Wishes Always, Bill

Interesting poem about fault lines. I've been in a few quakes, myself. No one knows just where and when one activates. So, indeed, one should be ready.
