This is Trinity

Lightning strikes as thoughts go 'round
the ranks of knights and saints,
thunder sounds its way through town
as the horses gather weight.
Heaven falls unto us all as the rain tumbles down.

Ten thousand foes I once did know
in the flush of someone's eye.
Three million things were told to me
by several friendly women.
These women were gone once night was day
and the mystery lingered on.
The armor was shown to sing and pray
the majesty of the play.

In skies I see the tempering of buddhas' wrath and glee.
Ten storms have come, ten battles won,
and time returns to sea.
With age begun and tempests done,
the casualty will cease to be.
Freed from desire, attachments undone,
one can now become.
Once become and all things done,
the self returns to harmony.
Upon return to harmony,
the self dissolves,
the world resolves,
the body becomes unity.
This is trinity.
