a wedding observation

i saw a bride once who knew something

so essential

knew in the moment

the white dress, slid down her frame,

was fastened in place

knew she was going to be beautiful

to the man waiting at the end of the aisle

for her.

deep breath, glassy eyes, wondering smile

she knew.

for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. this is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
