The Divine Trinity

Sonnet

Painting by Priti Ghosh

God and I are Spirit and Soul entwined
In the game of death to life immortal.
We are companions who’ve engrooved and embodied
The great edifice called the terrestrial.

Life is to us a chord broken and thirsting
For the Spirit’s immortal nectar:
Mind a stuttering principle half-illumined and aping
God and His myriadness unending.

We have filled our breasts with Nature’s laden rule
Like a misogynist loving his mistress dearly.
Her fumbling is our fumbling into misrule,
Her ascent a glory-road of Spirit ascending uninterruptedly.

God, Nature and I are a one immeasurable Whole wedlocked:
A happy matrimony of a Trinity integralised.
