change
I sit in the wilderness
Looking in amazement.
The trees, the flowers,
The animals, the rocks,
Everything looked sacred and peaceful,
Everything was in harmony.
As I looked on, I felt that I belonged,
In this wilderness.
I felt special.
I felt as if I was in harmony.
Everything was going well.
Then, all of a sudden,
I felt a rumbling under me.
It started small and then exploded.
I tried to stand but when I did,
I fell back down to the ground.
The once peaceful, harmonious wilderness
Has now become a chaotic world.
I cannot stand for the shaking is too great.
All I can do is sit and wait for this to end.
I am scared.
I want the wilderness the way it was.
I start to cry.
I start to yell.
Why is this happening?
Why now?
Everything was going well.
I was at peace and now,
Now life is chaos.
I want to go but I can�t.
I cannot avoid this.
I am scared.
Why to me?
Why now?
Why?
