Poetry: Natural disasters

My legs froze with terror
Earthquake split the air
Everything in house felt the tremor
Even my pulsating heartbeat race
In hot despair
With nervous fleeing shower
To find a penitent rock
But unable to move fast enough
The numbing pain lost my balance
I stood aghast in awkward silence
With wounded knees
Enter Pilgrims faith increase
To reduce the terrorize weaken heart
Precious memories ripped apart
The finer choice life had made
Prosperity stood afar
From the enormous sound
Earthquake splitting the ground
Into two foreign islands
Strangers became friends
And hope escape high
Towards the burning stars
Galloping across the sky
Like flying horsemen
A path with pestilence
Disease clouds human existence
Force earth further to its knees
Apocalypse is here
Bringing natural fear
appearing legal

    there's nowhere dry
    not

    Walking back from school
    Laughing merrily at the sun
    Happy thoughts
