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
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
