Poems by Themis

All is You

Radiant beyond the gold of kings

Your lovelinesses shine,

O Queen of the secret heart of things,

O Mother-Love divine.

The splendour closes over my sight,

Upon my brow your kiss

Opens the inner worlds of light

Where all is vibrant bliss.

All things dissolve to ecstasy;

The being drawn above

Widens to your infinity,

Lifted in hands of love.

All calm, all peace, the mind's blue deep

Illumined lies in trance,

Within an endless glowing sleep,

A vast deliverance.

All, all is You: the heart's white flame

With your love burning bright,

Lips honey-sealed with your sweet name,

Flesh tranquillised to light.
