Three


by Neil Hawkes

The old Greeks erred

In all things are three

Object, subject and quality

If less is seen

All is reduced

For all our holy world

This is so

For God as well

If you conceive him

Outside it

They say

What is this God seen in Trinity?

I might ask

What is this world

Seen without it?

All is three

Artist, art and artifact

Maker, made and making

Love, lover and beloved

I am that
