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
