A Poem from a MYTH…
“Slowly, Suddenly Remembering Persephone”
by Lynda McKinney Lambert
ripe for contemplation.
the sun moves slowly
to center sky
stillness.
I remember
the springtime
picking flowers
things happen suddenly.
I drift in random circles
on the surface of quiet waters
beneath clustered branches.
the day can change suddenly
no movement in the tangled leaves
even birds seek shade today.
We danced through wild flowers
suddenly
we are invisible
and grow old
I shift forward
undulating slowly
to an old rhythm
summer’s sleep returns.
Random things bring quick changes
this evening is like
the moment before my birth
a full moon will rise this evening.
