The Three of Them Dancing - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

The three of them dancing
a picture of heavenly joy
casting, sharing light
awash in their glow
The father, son and spirit
or sister, mother, wisdom
twirling in union
all of these are one

Holy is the choir
singing praises to God
knowing them only
in the courts of heaven above
for now we journey
walk upon this earth
knowing that in heaven
we will share eternal birth

------------------------------
Knowing God

Knowing God
in all their beauty
the trinity’s dance
love sublime

Oh for that day
when I join them in heaven
kneeling in your courts
rising at your command

The three as one
and yet at times separate
a mystery for the ages
until the age is no more

Following the Trinity’s Call

Each of the trinity
one being, one God
the father, the son, the spirit
each calling to us
to join them in love

Following the trinity’s call
speaking to us in our lives
going where we are led
to share their message of love
with everyone we meet,
to the ends of the earth

& earlier poem:
--------------
In the Three

The dance of love
three faces, manifestations
together one, in relationship
equal, sharing, abiding
connected in ways
we cannot understand
a glimpse of meaning

God is love, not merely loving,
God is father, son, holy spirit
each love, loving, one another
symmetry, dancing, singing,
laughing, love divine
