Earthquakes no longer feel foreign to my body My mind is racing and my ego is gaudy Hurricanes no longer cause shivers down my spine Everything they are is everything that is mine Tornadoes no longer can blow my life over My body stands fast as the grass and the clover Thunder no longer scares me at night The sounds from above are the sounds in my mind Forever no longer sounds like sure death It’s not enough time to use up all my breath This emotion no longer holds all the power For I know that it may be gone in an hour
