My very foundations are shaken
The earth tremors beneath my feet
The world around me seems unsafe
and insecure
And thus do I not sleep
The tectonic plates have shifted
Causing a rift deep inside the sea bed
It feels like a tsunami is building
On the horizon a huge wave rears it’s head
The walls of my haven start to crumble
Shuddering with all the strain
I brace myself for certain impact
The Falling Tower at play again
The shackles that bind me
Are breaking apart
And like a shuttle re-entering earth’s atmosphere
I wonder if I can withstand the force
Of the prospective annihilation I fear
All I can do is batten down the hatches nd ensure that my faith is strong
For no one can predict how this will end
It’s out of my hands and in God’s.
