Poems by Themis

To Mother

Alone within the agonising night,

Earth-broken, ignorant, to You I call,

 O Mother-Love who are my all in all,

To gather me into your heart of light.

My body vibrates with small flames of white;

Over the waters of pain, through Matter's wall,

Within the heart echoes your soft foot-fall,

Approaching down your mystery-haloed height:

The pathway of the darkness bends and breaks

Within abysses of eternal suns;

 Within earth's veins and cells the white fire runs,

The storms of pain relax to silvern seas;

And all my being lost in You awakes

Within your body of unutterable peace.
