Quake

Feel the slight tremor grow into a judder
then the slides begin to announce her coming
with the water bath and blast,
keep your mind together, fear not; just wonder.
An earthquake.

feel the slight shiver grow into a shudder
then the pulsing heart announces her coming
with the blood flush and flash
keep your mind together, fear not; just ponder
A mind quake.

We suffer death but once,
the quake passes leaving fear and pain in her wake.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
