Notes About The Poem

August 8, 2025

For the contest, "The Dweller in My Heart," by Unseeking Seeker

Line of Inquiry: The essence of us is the same as the essence of the sun

Dweller of Our Heart

Born among stars, for a star, too, am I
A scion of the Earth and the star-filled sky
Helios, my name, called by ancient ones
Stardust clings as I am now among suns

My essence is of sea waves at high tide
or, as they gently kiss shore, then collide  
The hills share portions of the mystery
as they often bend down and kiss the sea

The wind whispers as it calls my real name
It scatters ice crystals where snow lays claim
The gardens of flowers, fruits and leafed trees
Mix with scent of honey, carried by bees

I know night and day under lilac skies
Dawn to Sunset I am Time as it flies
All are my essence, born of older time
I am dweller in human heart divine
