Andrea Dietrich Poet Quatrain

Dweller of our Heart

Line of inquiry: “the essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun” Unseeking Seeker

We are as the sun,
for in us is a light.
It’s the light of One
omnipotent and bright.

This essence – this glow -
we should appreciate.
We must let it grow
to burn all hate away.

Imagine if we all,
with our love lights showing,
could create a ball
like the sun’s and glowing.

Heaven on this earth -
it's possible to be
when we realize worth
in everyone we see.

We can be victorious
when kindness we impart,
mindful of the glorious
Dweller of our Heart.

Howard Kerr October 9, 2025 at 10:04 AM In my view this is the quintessential quatrain. There’s richness of thought embedded in each word, line and stanza. A perceptive poem based on persuasive argument. Howard

Benjamin Bartley August 16, 2025 at 1:47 PM I think Unseeking Seeker got it all backwards. This should have been the trophy winner, at least, I think so. Ha, great poem, nonetheless. Thanks for sharing!!!

Jay Narain August 8, 2025 at 10:01 AM Beautifu poem. Love and compassion wins over hate and delusions. Nice poem.

Kim Rodrigues August 8, 2025 at 9:06 AM Beautiful! Yes, let our light shine, not to be diminished by hate. Funny, to draw toward the sun would kill you. You would be burnt up. Without the sun and also the Son we don’t have a chance. (I finally found her email. Will let you know if I see a response)

Joseph P. DiMino August 8, 2025 at 8:59 AM "We can be victorious when kindness we impart, mindful of the glorious Dweller of our Heart." -- Beautiful, perfect! Have a great writing day my friend.
