A Poem from a MYTH…<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Slowly, Suddenly Remembering Persephone”<\/span><\/h3>\n

by Lynda McKinney Lambert<\/p>\n

ripe for contemplation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

the sun moves slowly<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

to center sky<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

stillness.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I remember <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

the springtime<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

picking flowers<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

things happen suddenly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I drift in random circles<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

on the surface of quiet waters<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

beneath clustered branches.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

the day can change suddenly<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

no movement in the tangled leaves<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

even birds seek shade today.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We danced through wild flowers<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

suddenly<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

we are invisible<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and grow old<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I shift forward<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

undulating slowly<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

to an old rhythm<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

summer\u2019s sleep returns.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Random things bring quick changes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

this evening is like<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

the moment before my birth<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

a full moon will rise this evening.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
