Worlds Shaken
by Sheila Odom Hollinghead
The world shook, their world,
And mine.
Waves washed over lives, their lives,
And mine.
Smiles faded from faces, their faces,
And mine.
Deep within cores melted, their cores,
And mine.
Hands lifted in surrender, their hands,
And mine.
The world broke in minutes, their world,
And mine.
Their cores melt still.
Arms forever unmovable,
Raised in surrender.
Bodies forever broken,
Washed to the shore.
Their world shakes still.
My waves wash over me;
Shaky and tearful,
I throw my arms up in surrender
To he who mends broken lives.
The unshakable solidifies
My faith, my core,
Steadies and
Hands clasp, to steady theirs.
