One Earthquake At A Time Poem by Richard Jarboe

Upheaval can take millions of years to start,
Then mountains pile up and tear sea beds apart,
And when land crashes into land,
Things disappear in the sand.

The history of the world, written in rock,
Reveals results of the after shock,
Years of cracks show the sign,
Things change one Earthquake at a time.

The value of life devoid of the crap,
Becomes acute on a rearranged map,
And the depths of the earth reach the depths of the mind,
One Earthquake at a time.
