It’s amazing how the sound of a voice can calm
soothe
make one smile
reassure

The earthquake came
and in the chaos
typing gave way to a ring
and “hi”
and tears
then just talking
about the past
about the present
about the future

and in the end
the shaking stopped
and passion was ignited
and love was professed
and the future looks bright again
even in the midst of lasts
