This is my fourth post related to the October 15 earthquake that struck Central Visayas where our beloved province of Bohol took the greatest brunt. I seem not to have gotten over the trauma yet and this blog is one release. To my readers, I humbly ask for your indulgence.

Almost two weeks have gone by since that fateful day. With very limited evacuation centers, displaced families are still sleeping in open fields...in tents or just makeshift covers. Even for those whose houses are still standing strong the fear of aftershocks is driving them away from their bedrooms. We were no exemption. That very night after the quake our beds found their way to our front lawn. Just that one night and I barely slept, even with the moon smiling bright above us.

big moon shining bright
no comfort to fearful hearts
trauma of tremors
