Poems by Themis

Breaking

The world divides before my mind,

And breaks to pieces in my heart;

It is well the strangling thoughts unbind

And let my dreamings fall apart.

There may be hallowings for these

That came from out the mud and mire;

That darkness held within its peace,

And lifted up in shining fire.

But now that I know You are there,

Beyond the swift veils of the light,

This madness too has lost despair,

I see the breakings break aright.
