PAUL, by EARL BOWMAN MARLATT Poet's Biography

First Line: He found life a pattern
Last Line: From the tyranny of the dark.
Subject(s): Paul, Saint (1st Century); Saul Of Tarsus
He found life a pattern
Woven by the Law
And men colorless threads in the fabric;
Save one,
Whose face shone
While jagged stones carved the last darkness,
And Another,
Whose light and voice
Illumined a desert road.
Thereafter,
Frail but unafraid,
He journeyed into the dawn—
Tearing the pattern to shreds
To free souls
From the tyranny of the dark.
