Dweller of our heart

"The essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun” Dweller of our heart A sun went out, a silent, sudden night, and left a shadow where once there was light, For in our chests, a solar flame still burns, A borrowed heat that twists and gently turns. The essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun, And so your light, though gone from sight and sound, Is now a warmth within this hallowed ground. You live in me, a dweller in the core, A part of fire I am now and evermore. Though earth received what was your final form, You shine within, and keep my spirit warm.
