30 Days of Poetry: Day 23: SUDDENLY
Day
23: Suddenly
Page
28 from the story For Love of Sunny by Vivian Vande Velde in
Girls to the Rescue
Suddenly
I
was here
when
two paths crossed
my
parents to be
creating
my history
a
happy happenstance
for
me
Suddenly
my
childhood ran by
burned
skin summers and wet winter skies
topless
and carefree
tree
house dreams
Suddenly
my
college days
love
and learning
blew
through
only
snapshot memories remain
Suddenly
I
am here
thinking
5 months of travel
went
by so fast
how
that love
went
by so fast
these
hands cannot hold
the
falling sands
as
time passes
I'll
stop time here
catch
the light off my bubble dreams
as
they rise, suspended
lift
my nose to the wind
and
catch the hyacinth of Spring
this
precious life
this
precious moment
The
Universe will blink
and
suddenly
that
was my life
