Hymn To Helios



I wake this day knowing there
is no space between God and me.
Already, part of eternity's mantle!
Just to be myself, naturally.

Even though fear and doubt
may appear as clouds to delay 
or to stifle me.
Being fearlessly me, despite
opposition....
Was, and always will be, my
life's main concentration.

To please a group, to bow or
cow-tow,
Is a thing no poet nor human 
should do.
You are already complete and 
divinely, whole.

Wishing you a day of dancing
muses and the reflections of fresh, 
scented, aromatic roses.

Panagiota, I like where you went with this poem. There are so many imaginative images of Helios. And now they've named a protein: https://www.mskcc.org/blog/something-new-under-sun-study-leukemia-finds-role-helios-protein

We are best qualified to be ourselves and yet many so badly want to be someone else. Well expressed poet!
