Poems by Themis

Figures of Light

Consider how behind the darkness

Ever those wondrous figures gleam,

All clothed in light and tender beauty,

And haunt us in the paths of dream.

Radiant with love and silent wisdom,

They move within our hearts and minds,

Sustain and sanctify our being,

And cut the knots our Karma binds.

Eternal strength, eternal patience,

Carry our stumblings through earth's night;

Soft hands of Grace and deep compassion

Open the gateways of delight.
