MOUNT ON HIGH

It happened high up on top while we were on the mount

The mount seemed to rock back and forth

Suddenly there was an immediate shake

All I could say was  “For Heaven’s Sake”

We realized we were in a middle of an Earthquake

There was certainly no place to run

We were in the Arizona desert in the hot sun

As we looked across the vast horizon to look upon

We could see in the distance where damage had been done

Cactus Trees were falling down

Mountain upon Mountain of rubble hurling from all around

There were no people to be found

Suddenly a stillness of shock was our only silent sound

The Earthquake may have eased down, but what about the aftershocks

Perhaps I spoke too soon

This could very well be our own doom

Debris was starting again to fly all over

There was no place to take cover

High up on the mount we were

We were certainly at the mount peak far

We didn’t see any sight of any car

But we seemed to survive an Earthquake’s rage

This could happen at any age

It was just another of God’s amaze.
