Come, Cleansing Wind
I write on May 26, Trinity Sunday in many liturgical calendars. I am convinced that the mysteries of the Trinity are best explored in prayer and poetry, in art and music, rather than hair-splitting (and sometimes head-splitting!) logic.
The picture below shows a mosaic found in the contemplation chapel at Desert House of Prayer, outside Tucson. While contemplating this mosaic, I composed the prayer that follows.
Come, Creator of all that lives,
Come, O Christ, who mercy gives,
Come, Sophia, gently sieve
All evil from my soul.
Come, "I Am," that I may be,
Come, O Christ, and set me free
Come, cleansing wind, and blow through me,
Refreshing deep within.
Come, Creator of all that is,
Come, O Christ, who risen is,
Come, fiery Spirit, enkindle this
Weary soul of mine.
To God, the Holy Trinity,
May praise and blessing ever be,
And may new life be born in me
Engendered by your love.
--Bill
