[bodytext] => Hooked on the feeling of serene relief
As I lay in that lonely bed my world shook Two nights ago the earth beneath It rocked away and my fears were took A four point eight quake waved by If it gets any stronger I thought to myself The floor will give way Like an unstable shelf I wished it had, for this I'm prepared 'Yes' I thought, at last Something's actually happening No longer this feeling of just limbo Not knowing whether or not anything I am tired of fear ruling supreme If my world had collapsed I'm ready to start a clean But no such luck as it faded away Now all I'm doing is waiting until the day Waiting and praying for the next It'll probably be about another ten years But until then I shall not rest Isn't it strange how just a few seconds Of what could've been total devastation Has me hooked on the feeling of relief. I know those frequented will say Four point eight that's nothing But I'm not in the game of comparison And when you don't get the chance to be blasé These such wonderful feelings Are amplified out of proportion I love the fragile ground I walk upon Probably because I bother to understand it Most others I've heard panicked But not I Although I did take one second to look outside In the dark for a mushroom cloud But never thought to find one As I hear and take heed When my nature speaks!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
