The Shaking

Creator of Mystery


Notice of absence from Creator of Mystery
Hello everyone, I will be unable to post anything as my younger cousin broke my computer.

First was just my bed

my dog woke up and startled me

the bed shakes

It’s not scary yet

 

then goes the ground

the house tremors

things fall from walls

my pets both panic

 

then the danger is gone

but after the storm 

it’s not always calm

as my body shakes

not with relief, from fear

pure and unfiltered fear

  • Comment from author about the poem: In my area, there have been a lot of terrible earthquakes recently, and everyone is freaking out, this also helped some of my old anxiety to come back, so I wrote this poem as a quick pastime, so I would stop being so anxious.

    If you know how to pray, pray.
    And let the peace of God, which surpasses all understand, guard your heart.

    I didn't like it not because I didn't like it, but because of your situation. x

        It is the last stanza that evokes the aftermath feeling of fear. Nicely written
