Poems by Themis

Lone Tune

All that our dark earth was,

All it will ever be,

Is rooted in the Cause

That Is, eternally.

The Silence breaks apart

In myriad shreds of time,

Leaving a lonely heart,

Weaving a lonely rhyme.

Unconscious stars commune

In vain with senseless suns,

Each winging its lone tune

'In time' — sad, lonesome puns.

O Love, pour forth your grace

And make our cracked tones whole;

At last, unveil your face,

And fold us to your soul.
