Dominic Giuzio ’24
I.
One moment
The sun stands against a blue backdrop,
The air is sweet as nectar,
Warmth embraces the world,
And cheerful conversations
Meander across green clearings.
The next,
The sun retreats behind a dark cloud,
The air becomes heavy with darkness,
Cold seizes everything,
And silence
Becomes louder than ever.
II.
Sleet pelts sidewalks and windows
While raging clouds smother the sky.
Darkness rules with an iron fist,
For the light is too shy.
Yet the sun breaks through clouds,
Giving its light and life to all,
And the people rejoice and cry out
For the storm will always fall.
