In the darkness, light gave a sigh
And the trees whispered warnings on high
And the animals,and birds and bees
Left your company
Heading far away from your buildings and cars
Heading for a place of safety
We tried to warn you
We wanted you to hear
I cried you an Earthquake
I screamed for you, for Heavens sake
My heart broke for your children
My hand touched your pain
For the sake of forever
Would you live again?
Far and wide the warnings were around
You could not hear the oh so subtle sound
And the rivers ran backwards
And the wind blew around
Heading for the coast they said
Heading for the end of time they said
We wanted you to take heed
We suffer with you now
I cried you an Earthquake
When the night began to shake like hell
My voice cried our for all your souls
My body tried to quell the pain
Can you hear me now please tell me
Would you live again?
Every single thing in sight shuddered violently
And the hearts of every man and woman and child
Beating fast in terror and in fear
Heading for the safety corridors
Heading for the exits and the doors
You could not escape his revenge
You could not understand our words
I cried you an Earthquake
Peace on Earth is impossible my love
I place my heart upon your dreams
In my eyes shines bright the powers that be
And I cried you an Earthquake
Would you live again?
Please tell me what you think

forgot the cheer
Wonderful to see that you are still writing.

Silence

You could not hear the oh so subtle sound
And the rivers ran backwards
And the wind blew around
Those gorgeous metaphors rang true as to the feelings of sadness and despair and your observations of what occurred. I rank this as in my top three favored of your poems for sure. It was heartfelt yet telling. A very difficult task indeed. You always give the good stuff my lady, and you seem incapable of letting us down.
LOVED your myspace by the way; very unique, like you.
