Discourse of the Trinity
Some think
It is one position and three authorities
One power and three personalities
Three deities then and sneak polytheism
The trinity is a cleverly invented schism.
I think
One triangle three equal sides
Turn it as history provides
The gospel matches wisdom strides
One God across three divides.
Father
A role in the drama of salvation
About the belonging need of creation
How laws are convened by relation
The center holding equal emanation
Son, sir
Is a virtual status magnifying cost
The paradigm of value for what is lost
No side destroys the triangle most
All sides converging at the cross.
Spirit
Measures the mass-less conclusion
Between matter, and none matter union
Mass is man's means of promulgation
Of self, spirit in flat subordination.
God split
In history is still the absolute infinity
That proclaims a singular sovereignty
We are broken parts of the whole entity
Mass must go to show more than energy.
I have
No three in one, nor one fragmented into three
Absolute power can make absolute mystery
Finite reason reflects in logic its own absurdity
For logic comprehends nothing beyond mere history.
I crave
Through faith a worship centered in one God. We
His image: body, soul and spirit is three
And there is no self that deny this plural unity.
I serve one God reigning in one eternity.
