THE BRIDEGROOM

On waking this morning I heard several historians being interviewed on the history and sociology of the twentieth century. This poem resulted from listening to their ideas. -Ron Price, Pioneering Over Three Epochs,7 February 1999. :cool:

He knew there would be

a hankering after something new

when civilization died

in the trenches of that War

and we’ve been putting It together

around His gemstones

of imperishable, immeasureable lustre,

a new Word for this new Age.

And we’ve been spreading out

as far as one can spread on this planet

taking the gemstones

to the furthest reaches of the world

so that they can shine like the bride’s ring

with all the joy,expectation and hope

for a new day.

The Bridegroom has come

bedecked with invisible bestowals

planting many a tree of love and friendship

in the holy gardens of paradise.

But the steed of this valley is pain.
