My heart is a secret garden

As a God-spark, mirroring His heartbeat,
my essence dwells in the cave of my heart,
where bliss refrains unendingly repeat,
etched in the vast void, as a work of art.

Prismatic refractions adorn the sky,
quite the same as a rainbow in full view,
effervescence of love that makes hearts sigh,
yet which can be savoured by but a few.

Childlike innocence alone holds the key,
to turn my heart’s lock, opening the gate,
transformed as a mist, those souls who are free,
must effuse pure love as they levitate.

My secret I share for those who can pair ~
Shining as love, light and bliss, self-aware

Your sonnet flows and rhymes very well.. I really liked the imagery and word play in the second stanza with "Prismatic refractions adorn the sky, quite the same as a rainbow in full view." Those were my favourite lines in your poem.. Congratulations on your placement in the contest.. Sending you blessings.

I felt drawn to write this after reading Silent One’s POTD. The love and light of God within is for us to receive, for which concepts rested, vibrance of innocence and purity of heart is all that is needed.

Dear Seeker, I felt the warmth of that inner chamber where the divine never dims. You certainly carry the rainbow within, refracting what the world forgets to see. There’s such a tenderness in the way you guard the gate, yet still offer the key to any heart willing to rise. Blessings, Daniel
