1. The Scriptures shine, God-breathed and pure,
2. One triune God, eternal and sure.
3. The Father reigns, Creator above,
4. The Son, our Savior, full of grace and love.
5. The Spirit proceeds, giving life and light,
6. Humankind fallen, lost from God’s sight.
7. Salvation is grace, through faith alone,
8. Faith, Spirit-given, makes Christ our own.
9. Children of God, by blood justified,
10. Baptism and Supper, Christ’s love supplied.
11. The Church, His body, with Christ as the head,
12. Awaiting His coming, just as He said.
13. Resurrection awaits—joy or judgment ahead.

My eyeballs move as though witnessing scenes within eyelids.
Face, just like obeying commands of some far-off spirits, skids
Heaven, with the triune god and the angels illumine
I cross the boundaries and reach all realms beyond human
Truth and untruth are tenderly mixed like milk and water.
Where's my skill gone that culls out shapes from mud as a potter?
There's a sensation. It's like the touch on a touch-me-not.
Between what's seen and unseen, known and unknown, there's a knot.
As a small drama that is enacted within a long play
Does the unsaid truth sparkle, piercing the veils of each ray?
Do the deeds of good overpower the deeds of evil?
Between brain, bones, blood, nerves, and muscles, there's an upheaval.
Sitting aside my flowing stream of thoughts and thoughtlessness
Do I, the dreamer, discover my own dream's plotlessness?
Cuffed with cautions, causations, cognitions, and cogitations
Aren’t each dream and the dreamer bound by vague limitations?
Where Stars Collide and Shine Ablaze
and Passions stir where Fires Rage,
where Eternal Treasures Oscillate
and Philosopher Stones shine like a Solar Sage,
where Exotic Gems pulsate from Deep Within
and Glow like Wildfires with Wild Flames,
where Embers Uproar in a Blaze Of Glory
and Ascend towards Legendary,
and Eyes Glisten with Celestial Luminosity
Vanquishing the Lesser with Heavenly Aristocracy,
Pulsating Heaps Of Light like Sun Beams
and Chakras Ignite like Solar Bolts Of Lightning,
and a Triune of Mind, Body, Spirit Resurrect
and Blitz Forth like Chariots,
where Souls Ignite and Scintillate
there, the Heart that burns with Bonfire Faith
Unity of the Trinity in Christianity
The Triune Allah-Jesus-Mary concept of Islam
The Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva... one with the humanity
All amalgamate into sole wholeness and grand great charm...
Inner ethical fiber as a solid foundation
Extended rhythmic reality bonds with each being.
Incorporation, like butter with bread, truth collation
Accomplished with the self of one and the other freeing...
Physico-psychic-spiritual warmth, like gems, adorned
Socio-poltico-economic rules, like galaxies, set
Philosophic-theosophic-historic thoughts thronged
Inner equilibrium eases each and every threat...
The three-legged table, thus, does many meanings disburse.
This, in its integral form, is a unique universe...
THE GREATEST.
LOVE OF ALL.
IS TRIUNE.
TRINITY.
EXISTS FOR.
OUR GREAT NEED.FOREVER
I
I am not BIRD
Yet in the Word
I am often eagle, winged
In strength, your protection
And so, Let there be Light
(versus Love) is no oversight
Because my light is fraction
Of my love in action
Not just fancy vocabulary
Missed by all, and the seminary
2
I began creation in love and light
Only one you see, without insight
My son chose, "Son of Man,"
But told religion, "I am"
(8:58 in John, and seven others)
He also is First among sisters, brothers
Yet that True Vine, ensuring they fruit
Father God, is husbandman, not root
Yet the triune root exists
We are one in aim, objectives
There is no rivalry, jealousy
We are the first Community
The communion and union
Our Love is not thy love, til glorification
3.
I am the gate, Jesus said (John 10)
David called me Good Shepherd, 23 Psalm
I am not these, yet I AM
Can you try to understand?
You personify me, First Person
O vocabulary is nice and cumbersome
I want silence, too, communion
Humanity give me things, my own creation
Since temples, ziggurats, pyramids
I want to be in thy midst!
That's my Creative Love
You'll know if you come above
I
Delicious evening
Furtive moon, modest stars
2023 but ancient Sky
II
Cooler, Eastern Cape evenings - delicious
Blazing hot days, 40 degrees Celsius
Give way to ancient ways, in the stars
Only a few tonight (why?) And Venus perhaps?
Two of the four stars in a box, outshone the rest
- when Moon escaped the cloudy hedge
A few belts with triune stars consoled me
Father, Son
Holy Ghost
Trinity
Creator
Redeemer
Paraclete
Three persons
One essence
Unity
A church in every neighborhood,
all built the same;
a mantra to do works of good,
and yet somehow misunderstood:
divinity of him they claim.
In these, the not-so-latter days,
pride in one’s self is still to blame;
the triune God, the One we praise:
no other name.
1.
I need courage
To live CHRIST-ian
I tasted intimacy
In Triune Communion
2.
At my age
With second family
I cannot complain
Except for spirituality
I wanted visions
Of Jesus, Trinity
3.
Can't see Face
God's. And live?
I settled then
For African evangelism
Still want intimacy
Tasted back then
One is the man whose living in half
Whole can he be with the wavelength above
In blurs, he saw the sacred cryptograph
With faith, he felt everlasting love
Two is the man with divine armor
Three is his strength, from threefold flame of Christ
Breaking chains of his flesh charmer
Intensifying the passion within
For with that flame, he founds himself
To the path of supreme completeness
I
Often we hear:
Absence of fear
Will allow Light
And LORD nearer
I pray this: Lead Triune Light
II
We write wills
When fear fills
The human Soul
Yell: "Thy Will --
Soul be still" --
"Shalom makes me Whole
I rebuke non-light"
NOTE:. Most biblical teachers say "mind, will, emotions" constitute what is called "human Soul."

If you defended your purity and your Christian womanhood as you quickly defend your grown children, you would be used mightily by our Trinity (our Triune Godhead: Father Son Spirit)

A daughter in her twenties had a court interdict (protection order) against her for going to mom's boyfriend's home & compelling mom to come home. At the same time that daughter & boyfriend made out at their home almost daily when mom came from work. Mom would not allow any to criticize Emilio's affair with her daughter anyway!
III
The son, over 18, was threatened at gunpoint by a local dad not to "jol with my daughter." Mom went after that man, Alister.
New American Standard Bible : PSALM 37:8
"For the LORD loves justice And does not abandon His godly ones; They are protected forever, But the descendants of the wicked will be eliminated."
LORD, who am I that you would consider me?
David said so in his song to The LORD
The One who created the stars, constellations, and waves
Who ended Sodom, Gomorrah, two more, and Noah's detractors
Yet David - and His people - are never forsaken
Brother, Sister ... you too have tasted and seen
The LORD is good, there is no evil in Him
Light just is: darkness leaves when Light enters space
My darknesses fled when Jesus was invited in
Through the Holy Spirit. Abba Father, I have Thee
Anywhere I can remember to trust You. I am slow
But You are patient with me; rescuing me often
I greet Thee today, before the sun rises (Rain greeted me)
And people traveling (in Thy Graces) talked with me
Already about justice and Faith and Favor
I intercede for all, even ones called "enemies,"
Because You also love mercy when we turn from our ways!
Glory to our Triune GOD as we thank LORD for another 24 hours

Good God, mine; hers -
title of old poem
posted 30 March 2017
South African loved it
Brought tears of faith
She loves the LORD
More than I know
I was thus (1990 )
Loving Beloved Triune God
II
This day South African
and fellow-poets commented
Oddly, no one else
A South African day
De Klerk passed away
Perhaps lost then found
In Politics in 1990
Released Nelson Mandela (1991)
Became a Peace Laureate
President, Fare Thee Well
III
What a coincidental day
We 3 South Africans talk
Poetry and Faith now
As our native land
Bids adieu, Irene, shalom
To President de Klerk
