20 Nicene Haikus



20 Nicene Haikus


One God beyond set

or categorical schemes

no greater conceived


Father transcendent

the Pantocrator divine,

defining power


Starting point of all

we could know and cannot know

light and mystery


One Lord Jesus Christ

authority, history

and divine purpose


Many repeated

the fact: Homoousion

never was he not


God said “let light be”

the co-equal demiurge

the Word / Son of God


He, incarnated

we, his descending purpose

bereft of heaven


Spirit made zygote

cell of God and a women

starting point of man


Power politics

death by affixation

a dark tomb to rest


Death draped for three days

life; stronger than non-being

the sign on Jonah


Descent, Earth and grave

Ascent, grave to heaven

Descent, for judgment


Ascending the spheres

the right hand God his seat

approach God through him


A Christ filled nature

more obvious than before

lasting all ages


Holy Spirit: Lord

Life, Animator of Time

from Father and Son


Relational Love

worship Father, Son, Spirit

triune God revealed


Time spans dirt on feet

prophets walk spirit possessed

North South, South to North


Twelve men tongue flamed heads

spread a church universal

in truth and in breath


One true baptism

Water, Desire, Fire

God cleanses all souls


He rose and in him

we rise at the last judgment

bound body and soul


Bound body and soul

the full state everlasting

beautific sight
