Poetic memories

Many thanks to Tina for sharing both her evocative poem remembering the earthquake that damaged the church spire, and her photo montage.

Earthquake

Waking
from our peaceful slumber
by shaking wall
and trembling tiles,
quaking deep
within the ground,
unusual
in these placid isles.

Trapped in time
like flies in amber,
our thoughts
go ever circling round,
as life itself,
the yearly seasons,

yet still
we search
for hidden reasons.
