Earthquake TSF

shocking
tremors, 
rock earth.
shake land.
plates drift
rocks skid
panic.


seismic
waves beat,
land quakes,
ground breaks
rupture
fissure
havoc.


buildings
crumble
heart pounds
fear rules
body
trembles
turmoil.


rubble 
surrounds
many 
injured
many
are dead
hearts boil.

Earthquake

earthquake shakes the ground
the ocean boils and hisses

Flashbulb Moment

Flashbulb moment in the black
Everyone frozen in a truth attack
You learn who justifies means from ends
You learn your enemies and your friends.

You look for an anchor in a bible psalm
But there's chaos in your brain from blast of this bomb
A moment that divides the right from the wrong
A moment not imagined in ancient song.

(chorus)
Flashbulb night,

Earthquake

Some slight movement of the bed,
At night,
And I suddenly become alert;
Is it shaking?
Is it an earthquake?
I stop and stare,
But nothing moves anymore; 
It might have been an illusive perception,
Or I have caused the movement 
Of the bed; 
I have never had 
These kind of perceptions,
In my head before.
But we have had two earthquakes.
And even though,

To Our Friends in Malibu Ca From Pangie in Northern Ca

Oddly,  I had no news on, at all today,
I just heard about your city’s early morning’s sway!

Having lived through earthquakes, I know that fear…
You wait for those afterschocks, that’s so very clear!

Keep flashlights and all electronics charged.
God watches over you, he is your best guard!

I do remeber building swaying to and fro.
But there really

Earthquake in england

Last night the dream was this
We were more solid than possible
we sensed the huge solid planet beneath us shake us
we were falling hard
And someone said
The universe is being destroyed.
As i walk along the pavement 
The ground is a kind of wavy tarmac
And my legs threaten to buckle.
Soon,my children

A Matter of When

“It’s not a matter of if, but when.”
Dr. Lawrence Hayes in Brad Peyton's movie: San Andreas

San Andreas' carnage sickens
the plot thickens
to higher stakes
than mere earthquakes
	
relationships split wide-open
wondering when
knowing the past
the end forecast
	
disease, divorce, death, denial
earth's life trials
how can one cope?
God’s grace brings hope

Fissures and Collisions

earthquakes and fissures
routinely affect politics and relationships
as they act on the earth's crust
tectonic plates clash in subduction zones
they separate at divergent boundaries 

a quake strikes 
will I engage or detach?
wisdom will prevail
I will not be smashed or fall between the cracks

The Great California Quake of 2024

Disasters have plagued our planet since the dawn of time,
When primitive creatures rose from primordial slime, 
And a comet came down to hit a dinosaur’s head,
Causing a headache so bad, he was better off dead.
So, he asked the plain question, “to be or not to be?” 
And invented Tylenol with codeine, number three.

A Seismic Afternoon Without Form, Name Or End

We are going to dig to bury our dead:
Mother, father, sisters and brothers,
Uncles, aunts, friends and strangers.
We are going to inter our dead:
Archbishop, pastors, Houngans and vicars.

The altar boys in a row are profusely bleeding.
The cracked crucifixes are lying on the benches.
They weep, suffer and are all almost naked.
Oh! They breathe like humans in agony;
Things,

Earthquake

Late in the morning, we had a surprise -
An earthquake decided to hit.
Our son’s house, for maybe 10 seconds or so,
Was shaking and more than a bit.

Around here, this isn’t a typical thing
So friends either texted or called.
Did you feel the earthquake? We did or we heard…
People startled or somewhat enthralled.

Of course, it was minor

Moments Ago, A Visit From An Earthquake

On the fifth of April 2024, about 10:23 a.m., we all felt a shake
It wasn’t the midnight train; it wasn’t a jack hammer
It wasn’t children hopping; it wasn’t the roaring of a tiger
It wasn’t a 747 emergency landing; it was an earthquake
It was God smiling at us to see how we would have reacted
People had
