The Rubric*A Poem by Paris HladThe Rubric
-A Soul Made for the Storm-
-
When rain comes down at midnight, And a wind molests the lake,
The only reason For the scene Is that I am Awake
For I am one soon taken By a rubric[1] in the night,
And ever would These earthly eyes Behold a magic sight
I do not fear a lightning flash That fades into the black;
I am a soul made for the storm And would not turn my back.[2] © 2023 Paris Hlad |
