I heard the rolling of thunder as lightening streaked across the skies. I felt the earth move under my feet. A rumbling like a woman in pain about to give birth. As it threw me to the ground, I listened quietly to the sounds. I felt a quaking, as the ground began to come alive. For the first time I heard fear call to me. 
Opening my eyes I looked up as I saw trees toppling over. A short distance away the ground opened up. As lines spread out from it, the look of wrinkles on an aged face. I embraced myself for what would take place. I could not move, my body was numb and I was frightened. I felt my heart had stopped beating and my last breath of air would end soon. As the noises continued below me the sounds, the awful sounds that penetrated the air, ringing in my ears. The ground shook violently, as I thought the wrath of mother nature is taking place. Had we defiled her by the weight we placed on her womb? The holes we drilled into her heart? As I heard her once again take her last breath and go to sleep. Leaving behind her broken heart her destruction upon mankind. I lay there silently weeping, my finger tracing the line beneath me. 
My hand picking up the dirt and letting it fall back to the ground as I slowly rose to my feet. I could hear the birds singing. I could see the sun coming out from behind the darkened clouds. I felt the wind blowing gentle up against me. As a mist fell covering the ground, a rainbow appeared in the distance. The earth was at peace again for awhile. With a New Sound. written by: Paula aka Angel Of Love June 10,2003 |
