Just Sit Dammit

The ground shifted below me
So I sat while it moved
My body alert for disaster
So I sat while on guard
Tears fell without warning
So I sat while they spilled
Fear gripped my middle
So I sat while it shook
My mind could not help
So I sat while it spoke
My breath it escaped me
So I sat and I found it

  1. P.S. I felt it all day long…so now I am having a glass of wine to take a tiny break from feeling it. One must even have moderation in feeling it.

  2. ‘My breath it escaped me
    So I sat and I found it’

    this gave me a big, stupid smile all over my face
