Perichoresis

Before time and light there IS, Three in One; When darkness yet was not as darkness is; Before stars took their place, before moon and sun, Three danced as One in perichoresis. From the top midst the wild world’s ruin Chaos threatens to overcome the light The Allemande-Three at Jordan breaks in, “You're my beloved in whom I delight!” The Three's contra dance, the world's hall shakes; The Word steps to, with fire to baptize; The Spirit alights, enfolds with embrace; As Father delights, praising to the skies. Let the Caller of Dawn in baptism call me Gathered in the swing of the dancing Trinity.
