Diagnosis

When your world may be upended

By Sonia Heidi UnruhPublished 4 years ago • Updated 4 years ago • 1 min read

I recall a scene

in Fahrenheit 451,

when the big bomb drops.

The hero watches

as land and sky trade places

in a crazy dance.

The ground blasts upward,

along with all the people;

below, cloud-filled space.

Time is suspended --

Then comes the crash, and the flames.

And so, too, I wait.

About the Creator

Sonia Heidi Unruh

I love: my husband and children; all who claim me as family or friend; the first bite of chocolate; the last blue before sunset; solving puzzles; stroking cats; finding myself by writing; losing myself in reading; the Creator who is love.
