Quaking
While
the earth shook,
they
cringed amid the tremors.
Those
unnatural shudderings, growling
forth
from a place beyond reason
that
threatened to kill peace.
Loud
bellowing
meant
to tremble land.
All
at once,
the
earth gave up her bark,
retreated,
took
her quaking to another place.
Within
their still haven,
now
hushed and without quiver,
they
exhale tension,
feel
that sense of serenity
as
they replace shattered bits of raw nerves
with
quiet, unmarred calm.
