An Earthquake!

Heavy shaking, items fall

Another SoCal earthquake

Somewhat normal for us all.

Many things can drop and break 

Total chaos all around

Nerves are frazzled, alive, and ache.

Kneel and cover near the ground

Hang in there and just hold on

Amidst a low rumbling sound.

Occurring anytime of day or dawn

Centered all over the place 

Hopefully it ends before all is gone.

Nerves are written all over my face

As all the shaking stirs 

Safe by God’s grace.

The shaking stopped, and the news concurs 

Now I just hope 

That more shaking doesn’t occur…
