Poems by Themis

Epiphany

Behold, the Timeless now through all Time shines,

Resplendent in each thought and act and thing;

The earth and heavens with His Presence ring,

And every form enfolds Him in its lines.

All grows to wondrous beauty, shapes and signs

Reveal the Light's mysterious fashioning,

From rock and rock the solar waters spring,

The sun-gold flood no earth-born strength confines.

Once long ago seers spoke of alchemy,

The mystic stone that can transmute to gold,

The mystic wine of life. Now in this hour

Of benedictions, hour eternal, we

Witness fulfilled the promises of old,

The glory of Love's sacrificial power.
