Tree Poem Revised

I am still working on symmetry and alliteration.....
but here it is so far...

The Tree of Knowledge,  straight, pure, but forbidden,  devoured out of proper place and time brought the death-sickness upon creation.  The fruit distorting all on Earth.

The Tree of Life, the Cross, the twisted, dogwood crafted, standing upright.   It bore the Saviour into battle, to champion over the death-sickness foe.  Soon the promised fruit will be given, the same tree in Paradise giving us life-blood and life eternal.

The Tree of David which is the church,  those who seek after the True God, sprawling and growing, vines and branches, infusing the whole earth with Love.   The Champion is now the vine.  The branches bearing its Fruit to all those in soul- despair and sin-sickness until the return of Paradise.

Tree Poem - Draft

I am attempting to write this in the style of a Welsh Triad.  This is a working draft...

Three Trees Wrought Outside of Time and Space

The First is the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the Second is the Crucifix, a Twisted Broken Beam of Hope revealed as the Tree of Life, The Third the Tree of David Reborn as the Living Church.

The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.  Brought three things, knowledge, shame and death. Through disobedience and partaking something good out of proper place and time (resulted) in a disease to Creation, warping and distorting.

The Tree of Life has three manifestations.  The Tree of Life in the Garden, which was good to eat for a while, The Crucifix, the twisted dogwood crafted, standing upright and bore the Saviour into battle to champion over the Disease and Death.  And the Tree of Life in Paradise, when those who Love Him will be given freedom to eat once more.

The Tree of David which is the Living Church, the great witness of Lovers who seek after the True God.  Beginning as a nation, not out of exclusivity, but meant to be a light to the world, sharing God's Love to all.  Growing as a tree into the church of believers, Ture and Beloved, Going forth to Bear its Fruit to all those in soul- despair and sin-sickness until the return of Paradise.
