the rumbling ground underfoot
the ground is shaking and i don't know why
all of a sudden there is a rumble and a angry sigh
i think the ground is trying to speak to me
gurgling and spluttering
bouncing and shaking
annoying my tender feet
i thought i was stable, grounded and safe
so why is the ground speaking to me?
signalling a sign of my instability
maybe i'm not safe afterall, maybe this is a warning
a warning that i should leave
before the ground breaks up
and i fall underground
maybe i need to step away before it is too late
i am trying but my feet fall weakly
a thud against my sore soles
my feet simply want to give up, give in
stand still, how many choices do i have?
move or stand still, either way i'm very heavily hurt
so i have to go on despite the thuds and heavy pain
i'l go on until the ground stops shaking
underneath my sore and fed up feet
can't stay on shaky ground forever can i ?
have to find my place of rest, stability and calm
if i keep walking the rumbling and grumbling road
maybe just maybe i will find my way out
stop, then what? i move nowhere
staying stuck and unhappy with a grumbling underfoot
