Spiration (+1)

Water, ice, and steam,

the Trinity as seen 

Three persons unto God,

whose will and spirit laud

 

In Holy contradiction,

their essence so defined

Divine interpretation,

eternity sublime

 

This moment of no matter,

nor past nor futures blamed

Embedded in our deepest selves,

beyond forsaken claims

 

“All glory to the Father,

devotion to the Son

Open to the Holy Ghost,

proclaimed—our souls become”

 

(Beaupre: January, 2022)

 

 

Until The Mirror Cracks

 

The ego of the atheist,

himself the standard bearer

Where power of a mortal mind,

inflates beyond repair

 

His facts he weds intensely,

dimension fencing in

What’s not explained, he must profane,

all emptiness within

 

Whose formulas and strictures,

his Rosary to proclaim

What can’t be solved, new facts resolve,

dismissive in his shame

 

The ending predetermined,

his choices lock the door

Alone, his dialectic dies

—naked to implore
