As Loud

The calm land trembled,
earthquake destroyed everything,
tall buildings fell short.

Running all to hide,
they left everything behind
except their sorrow.

Keen fear filled their souls
while watching the shaking earth;
tense times passed by them.

Stones were crushed to soil,
angry weather was screaming
as loud as their shrieks.

The stars shone at night,
the crisis gathered people
admitting God's grace.

The sun beamed brightly,
rays of light spread life ahead,
eyes of people shone.
