Earthquake

amethyste

Some slight movement of the bed,
At night,
And I suddenly become alert;
Is it shaking?
Is it an earthquake?
I stop and stare,
But nothing moves anymore; 
It might have been an illusive perception,
Or I have caused the movement 
Of the bed; 
I have never had 
These kind of perceptions,
In my head before.
But we have had two earthquakes.
And even though,
The earthquakes have ended.
Memory remains;
Memory never leaves you;

    What a great metaphor and such a true thing said in the last two lines. So well said.
