The Trinity

I used to think that my Trinity was the three for whom my heart beat would quicken. I’d shrink and forget myself under their glare. I’d loose myself and be everything but what and who I was to be what they wanted. That three incited in me a passion so strong I felt myself less without my love for them. ‘That was real love’, I convinced myself but now I know differently.
My true Trinity is the three to whom I always return. Whose love for me is unconditional, unwavering, enriching and infinite- my mother, my partner, my child. Though tumultuous at times the relationships forged with this Trinity is at the core of my being. That Trinity strengthens me. It is my greatest strength and my greatest weakness. They are my loves, the fixed point on my compass, life, breath, safe harbor, my heart's joy.
