The Earthquake
The Earthquake
With no place to run
or hide when we heard
the earth-shattering word -
resuscitate being used
concerning your condition
it was like the earth
moving beneath our feet
all hell broke loose
leaving us alone
with no place to turn
shaken to the core
as tremors are sent
throughout our bodies
leaving us shuddering
from the sudden impact
forcing us
to hold onto each other
for support
as the ground gives way
we feel the earth open up
and us being sucked deep
within a matter of minutes
that seemed like days
totally unsuspected
for this was to be
a routine test
not a cataclysmic
life or death experience
but you willed
your way back
to life and us again
