Poem of the Month: July 2007
In Passing
How swiftly the strained honey
of afternoon light
flows into darkness
and the closed bud shrugs off
its special mystery
in order to break into blossom:
as if what exists, exists
so that it can be lost
and become precious
--Lisel Mueller
Journal prompts:
- At the midpoint of summer -- and the year 2007 -- what is changing? What has passed away? What do you anticipate?
- What "special mystery" are you shrugging off "in order to break into blossom"?
- Write a story about something that has become, or is becoming, precious to you.
