DWELLER OF OUR HEART

DWELLER OF OUR HEART ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Poem written for and submitted to “Dweller of Our Heart Poetry Contest,” Unseeking Seeker, sponsor, August 3, 2025 Line of Inquiry: “the essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun Sunrise: Standing on the cliffs and looking onto the horizon I watch the sun melt like a promise Closing my eyes and taking in the warmth, I feel the pulse of light, a vibration stirring my thoughts. What is the sun but a promise, a blazing heart that beats for all? What am I but a similar *promise, a possibility in God’s plan? What is God but a promise, a pulsation connecting us all? I feel His heartbeat, the pulse, of the ancient and divine. I share the same flame as the sun, that essence binding me to Him. I am the sun, and the sun is in me, a celestial mirror, a holy unity. My spirit rises, a luminous thread binding me to the universe. My heart, now a flaming orb, shines light into the darkness illuminating my path and showing me the way. Afternoon: The day lengthens; I ascend like the sun with a pulsating heartbeat, the divine within my soul. *Note: “I am a promise, I am a possibility,” title and words of a popular Christian hymn written and produced in 1975, Bill and Gloria Gaither, songwriters.
