Threefold Flame of Christ

Christ the Suffering is the fire of love 
The red flame that flows within every plant, person and dove 
Who sacrificed itself on each tree in sight 
For the eventual victory of the tranquil light 

Christ the Messiah is the flame of power 
The golden fire that shines goodness into each flower 
Showing its life to those asleep during night 
Repelling the endless shadow of night through its hot might 

Christ the Luminous is the flame of wisdom 
The blue fire that unveils the all and heaven’s kingdom 
Illuminating the caged brain all the way through 
Releasing the caged bird to the endless expanse of blue 

This is the triple powered flame unquenching 
Shining as three endless lamps but is a single white light
