Having seen and felt
Nature's angst before
...Multitudinous quakes
None....intensity more
Than the wee...wee hours
At dawn's break of day
About half past three
An unforgettable sway
.....A bucking horse
From my dream awoke
To righteous reality..
Mother Nature's joke
....Or...maybe not
Now wide.....awake
That bucking horse
...Fierce earthquake
Checked family..neighbors
Indeed....all......is well
Except me..scared shitless
.....Only time.....will tell
