Upheaval

Out of nowhere
Ground rumbled
Shook wildly

Land broke away 
From itself
Catapulted skyward

Rocks split
Cracked open
Chasms spewed
Gushing water

So many of 
Our ancestors 
Lost 
In this upheaval

Today we stand
High amongst the clouds
Towering over all
Children of their children
Alert
Watching
Waiting
For the next
Earthly blow

Our ancestors 
Call to us 
Through thundering torrents 
Of cascading falls
Remember the upheaval
Lest we become 
complacent

– Shelley Lowell
