‘Water’

 

The Holy Trinity

In the first times

Made the waters of the world –

Pure and clear, untainted –

In the firmament,

Upon the earth,

Beneath her foundations –

Shimmering in sun’s light,

Glimmering in moon’s glow,

Pulsing through arteries

Under the ground –

Wholly good in the sight of God.

But the first-formed man

Stumbled and sinned

At the behest of his wife.

The waters grew cloudy

And darkened, befouled by evil.

They became the dwellings of demons.

Water was the womb of life,

Now the bearer

Of calamity –

Of flood and hail

And deadly disease.

The Logos looked

With compassion

On the works of His hands.

In agreement

With the Father and Spirit

He left the heavenly realm,

 . . .
