Trinity Dance (a Visual Poem)
By Mark D. Stucky
Father - Parent - Creator - Rock - Lover - Justice
Son - Child - Savior - Redeemer - Loved - Peace
Spirit - Womb - Sanctifier - Friend - Love - Wisdom
*(About this work: See the image above! The collaged image in this visual poem has three groups of words describing persons of the Trinity in a three-in-one spiraling dance with a Hubble photo of spiral galaxy NGC 4639 in the background. It was inspired by a question in my church, if the three persons of the Trinity danced together, what would that have looked like? This work was first published as "Trinity Dance" in Spirit Fire Review, 21 March 2023. See also my "Trinity" poems "Trinitarian Equations" and "The Invention of Love" and my visual poem “Haiga for the Heavenbound.”)

God has since creation declared
that a sabbath day is for our good
for as He rested a day after creation
so by His example, we also should
As God did His work in six days
then showed to take a day of rest
so all work is not at all good
we all need rest for our best
We owe God a day of worship
in thankfulness to His mercy and grace
bowing before Him receiving His love
praise His name before His dear face
Under the law iot was the seventh day
but when Christ rose from the dead
signifying the first day He blessed
now Sabbath is Sunday as Jesus said
God shows the importance of His sabbath
showing His lordship over them all
for He is the sanctifier of His own
showing the sign behind His call
("Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths,
to be a sign between me and them, that they
might know that I am the LORD that sanctify
them. " )
~ Ezekiel 20:12

Praises are for my God, my Protector and Provider
Saviour, Sanctifier, Sustainer by His grace-satisfaction
Ascertainer along truth's approval
Lover with His compassionate leadership
Mover of my faith maneuvered through His miracles.
Powerfully, the Lord propels my service-propped prayer
Settling surely redemption of my soul
Affirming His testimonies' assertions
Listening to my supplications expressed in His light
Mercifully meeting my needs every moment.
Peace my Saviour grants as I stay in His presence
Security around Scriptures' strength
Armor against adversaries and afflictions
Lessons biblically lifted toward building lives
Meaningfulness of my bliss' mirth.
Psalm 106:1 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
