Poems by Themis

Awaiting

Beloved, because eternities

Never close their gate,

Within an endless joyful peace

Eternally I waif.

Within my silence, soon or late,

Your sweet voice shall be heard;

And so in utter faith I wait

The coming of your Word.

Men marvel why I do not care,

 Or at my patience's store;

But You, Love know I'd wait for ever,

Waiting within your door.
