“from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.”

Eternal gyres together one times three.
The monolithic gods are only One
So they are lonely in their majesty.
Their utternesses falter, underdone.
The Trinity is endlessness combined
Of tripled love and, therefore, treble love
Stays stronger than a single god. Twined
Together they are God, strong love above
The weaker one-soul love of other ones.
From everlasting three have been the source
Of everlastingness. From them power runs
From love — and charges long with tripled force.
Jehovah and the single Allah pose
Alone, a boringness in prose.
