**********************************************
Early morn’ ring tone,
Dreamless quiet interrupter,
Emerge slow from depth,
Slow motion whale breaks water,
Dawn just breaking,
Five AM too early,
Faces of love ones flash by,
A call this early…always bad,
I brace within for worst of fears,
Wonder if I could manage
This earl’ morn’ nius,
Uttered in Kuanua,
My worries travel the islands,
Love ones beyond,
Four years not seen,
Who could it be?
What has happened?
White faced I watch,
The conversation engaged,
Lip-read each word,
Tsunami this way,
Chaos in POM,
Freeway now tracks,
Suffocated by people,
Pressing both sides,
Panicked lost faces,
All heading inland,
Seated here I write,
To capture the moment,
A snap shot my version,
When low tides fueled panic,
“Thank God it was a False Alarm”
