Love this poem

[Gabrielle Dean]

BC:AD

This was the moment when Before

Turned into After, and the future's

Uninvented timekeepers presented arms.

 

This was the moment when nothing

Happened. Only dull peace

Sprawled boringly over the earth.

 

This was the moment when even energetic Romans

Could find nothing better to do

Than counting heads in remote provinces.

 

And this was the moment

When a few farm workers and three

Members of an obscure Persian sect

Walked haphazard by starlight straight

Into the kingdom of heaven.

 

U.A. Fanthorpe (1929-2009)

The Christ candle is lit, on Joan’s beautiful wreath

[Pamela O’Cuneen]

LOVE this poem! Pamela
