Perichoresis poems

I discovered two more poems on Perichoresis in my files, but I will have to Google their authors/domain again...May you be inspired to dance a poem into being...

Perichoresis
O elegant and gentle Leader of the dance,

we do not know the meaning of each step

nor how to rightly turn this way or hold this pose.

Each spinning step or angled movement’s twist

does sometimes give us vertigo here where we stand;

this mystery of how the rhythm’s pulse

and how the music’s lilt are tuned to only You

has caught us up, and we are overwhelmed.

O grace-filled, grace-bestowing Leader of the dance,

please teach me how to twirl and how to move;

please teach me how the song pervades each dancer’s form,

these dancers who have learned to dance with You

throughout the ages of the song, the holy song

You sang in ages past to Abraham,to Isaac and to Jacob and his Hebrew seed:

Now sing to me and give me, too, this life.

O Leader of the dance, this perfect partnership

of Leader and of led, of God and man,

this Incarnation’s holy dance we see in You,

You now invite us to accompany.

This awesome dance, a truly cosmic synergy,

the interpenetration of us men

with Deity — with Trinity! — the universe

beholds and stands amazed and bows its head.

O holy Leader of this cosmic circling dance,

the union of both man and God is here

and imaged in the holy mystery of life

conjoined, a woman and a man conjoined.

He takes Your role as gentle leader,

she as Church,she follows him,

and he must die for her;

their dance together joins the dance eternal now,

and in that human dance we see our God.

O Holy Trinity, Your dance eternal now

descends on us and consecrates our own,

the revelation here as Body and as Blood;

herein we taste the God become a man,

and men become as gods as David prophesied.

The Trinitarian rhythm has become

our own, to guide our dance,

to grasp our hands and lead

us in the dance of stillness perfectly.

Perichoresis (dance)
On Friday nights we went to clubs

until we noticed something that

night when the three of them came and took

over the regular dancing. So

Did the Creator throw shapes on the

dance floor whilst dancing a salsa that

turned all the heads of the punters there?

Vogueing away while the other two

scattered. They took up their places but

somehow remaining together there

How the Companion perfected that

fight in a way that was calming them.

Making them friends from thereon until

Now. The Revealer is reveling

showing us all just a little too

much how its done by his lead for us

Dancing together while beckoning onlookers

come on and join us, and have a good

time. Doesn’t matter it’s happening.

Keeping the rhythm up copying

maybe looked easy as no-one would

dare to reject their advances then

in pairs we couldn’t make it work

and groups of us tried sussing out

as individuals put together

were fitting triplets into four time.

We stopped the dancing, getting going

on paper noting down what happened

as dancing disappeared while writing

and scrapping round some bits of paper.
