Quiet and peaceful
Happy and content
Patiently waiting for instructions.
Settled.
BANG!
Cracking
Rumbling
Earth splitting
Crashing
Earth shattering
Lights flickering
Glass smashing
Computer flying
Heaters swinging
Clock flying
Buildings crashing
People heaving
Time freezes
Everyone numb
Hearts pumping
Nobody talking
Walked out orderly
Lining up calmly
Hunting for friends and family
Wanting Mum
People shaking
Eyes wide with fear
Cars by the mile
Waiting patiently for a sign of hope.
Helicopters circling
Teachers taking rolls
Silt oozing
Walking through silt to home
Aftershocks rocking
Bumpy roads
People leaving their cars
Life changed forever.
