Without a thought the earth did roar;
Two plates once bound
for an age, or more
did slip, unwound.

Distressed, at ocean deep
Land once level, released, now sundered.
Giants of waves no longer asleep,
Delivered ashore, wild steeds, no mere white horses; we blundered.

Galloping forth, unbridled, wanton, unchecked
all in their path
were wrecked.
What once was, now no more.

Silence,
Force now spent;
But at deep it continued, defiant cadence.
Until another, rent
shook and earth did scream,
again.

Thoughtful insights

on a topic that, oddly, hasn't generated many poems that I've seen. Your poem is very well expressed with a great flow to it. Thanks for the read. :)
