Dweller of Our Heart
Within the dark, before the day,
A golden spark will find its way;
Not borrowed light, nor fleeting flame,
But one with which the sun’s the same.
It warms the marrow, stirs the soul,
It makes the broken pieces whole;
Through weary hours, through every start,
It dwells within our beating heart.
When shadows press, it will not fade,
It stands where deepest love

Dweller of Our Heart
(Line of inquiry: “the essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun”)
Sunrays warm my blushed cheeks--
calmness of daybreak dream's sweet adieu,
daylight spills through the meadow,
raising closed buds into bloom.
There, in sereneness before the world wakes,
the golden light whispers with gentle grace,
not just light, but presence—
ancient, not in sight yet felt,
it speaks

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

The Essence Of Teaching
Teach them how to discern and learn,
Don’t leave them helpless to crash and burn.
Teaching them just content, they learn it your way.
Teach them the process of learning today,
You give them a lifetime of learning every day.

Essence Of Life
The essence of life
Once one leaves
Is not worldly possessions
Nor wealth achieved
It is the life’s that were touched
Along the way
Love given and received
In hearts that will stay
Special memories created
Remain in hearts and mind
To comfort and console
The ones left behind

The Essence of Love
Author Dana Redricks
July 7, 2025
Many use the word love, but do they really know what it means? Love is eternal and never does it ever go away. True love is here to stay. True love is the essence of God Yahweh.
Love is grateful, and delightful. Love is listening, and trying to be understanding.

The essence of all forms
Bereft of attributes, Self is living light,
which is our true being, shaped as God Himself,
in a realm outside space-time, where we shine bright
and so recognising this as our true Self,
we weave our way through life in drunken delight,
knowing what’s impulsed will unfold by itself.
God dwells in the Self and Self dwells in the heart,
which is

My Father's Love Echo
The arrival of his departure
(A numb and cruel upheaval starter)
was an emotional core rupture;
a visual goodbye to my father.
I saw his final, last inhale
that would never flow to release.
I saw his life light fade to pale
before leaving to forever peace.
In time, I joyously came to know
his essence was such a strong force,
he could bend

Essence of Life
The essence of life
Is not the grand, shining prize—
Not the towers we build,
Not the praise, not the size.
It is not in the gold
That I chased in my youth,
But in hard-spoken love,
And in stubborn old truth.
It’s not in the noise
Of applause or acclaim,
But in calling your child
By their little pet name.
It lives in the touch
Of a
