Zeno and John the Lover and Revelator

Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem

The soul is body, yet the body soul.

Thus taught true Zeno.  True Apostle John

Taught much the same.  Two teachers on the whole

Concurred.  The Deity is Logos.  Gone

Are false distinctions.  Spirit is the pure

Truth, body and the soul complete as One

(As paradox exists).  No other cure

Is offered.  This is like a spirit sun:

Both physical and spiritual combined

Or more than that . . . a perfect unity,

So much the utterness it holds enshrined

In it a doctrine like the Trinity.

  The word and thought and matter always wait

    Unchallenged there expressed in one huge weight.
