The Trinity (The Kings of Israel)

One brought
One Gave
One sat still

One fought
One slaved
One killed

One died
One rose
One wept

One cried
One dove
One kept quiet

Alone and one
broken and whole
Peace of silence
Pieced of soul

Pretenders gasp
Liars sob
The Kings of Israel
Bear no cross

Passion pure
Speaks no words
Blood is spilt
Without a curse

If you must wander
Hum a tune
Smoke yet will rise
Within the room

If you return
within to burn
one question yet
are you to learn

When you ask
Upon the Mount:
“Before one,
what do you count?”
