The EIEN Trinity

THE HYMN OF EIEN

In order to know the beginning,
One must know the end.
Only then can one truly see,
That there is no true beginning.
And so, Death caught Life,
And they were One to bring the end. 

THE EIEN TRINITY

Part I: Of Death, & the End of All

Once upon a time,
Death chased Life across the universe.
Through ocean and sky,
Both near, low, and high.
Past sun and moon,
He chased her in tune.
Until at last he caught her,
Much to Time’s dismay,
For to her that meant ending…
It all? Whose to say?
Life and Death became One,
As it all fell apart,
And Time fell asleep,
Round each of their hearts,
So Time came to rest,
In the shape of infinity,
And all that was left,
Were the rings of their trinity.

Part II: Of the Time Between

Not much can be said,
Of the time in-between,
For it is not but a moment,
And cannot be seen.
It could last for an era,
Or end in a flash,
All we know is one thing,
We rise from the ash.

Part III: Of Life, & the Breath of All

The cosmos and all,
Had been shaped into rings,
And all was then still,
As sleep often brings.
Yet the Elements of Eien,
Were beginning to stir,
And those very same rings,
Were starting to turn.
Fire and Earth and Water and Wind,
Like children they sang to Eien a hymn.
And in that hymn,
Was Lightning born,
To spark the cosmos,
With the great storm sworn.
The Elements laughed,
As their song churned the rings,
Awakening Eien,
From the center of things.
Life and Death a mere thought,
Though still together as One.
It perceived in itself,
That its end was to come.
By fear it was torn,
As it watched the great storm,
There was only one answer,
The two must be forsworn.
Yet then in the judgement,
Of forsaking its own,
Did Life’s love glimpse the future,
Where it all might be born.
Alas, it was One,
But splitting between!
The cracks in infinity,
Waking Time from her dream.
And with one great breath,
Did Life rip herself free,
As she blew forth the storm,
Of EIEN’s Trinity.
The storm spiraled out into all stars and space,
And the birth of all things was breathed into place.
