Sine Qua Non

worth the wait...

Like the air that
breathes life into my spirit,
you inspire the parts that soar. 
Be they cooling breezes
or fearsome torrents,
I ride the winds
to my most desired destinations.
Clear waters quench
and replenish my body,
the body that moves
to the intent of your will.
I can float on the waves
or be at rest in its depths
and know true peace.
The quiet earthen soil
holds the secrets
of my soul's growth
and you are it's seed. 
You reach to the heavens
and bloom the fruit
that sustains my hopes.
Your light warms me
as does the sun,
and like the sun
you show me things
as they are.
And when my mind
is in need of rest,
my dreams are full
of the visions of things
as they could be.
You are something indispensable...
something essential.
You are simply something
that I cannot do without.

I think this was really nicely written. You did a really nice job on this. I could feel the emotions. Also I liked the imagery within it. Thanks for sharing.

I didn't know I meant so much to you,Charles. I should've though. I tend to become a necessity to most lives I enter.
In all seriousness though, these are words as airy and warm as their forming message. You speak from a spirit within that most haven't connected with inside themselves. Absolutely pure and refreshing to breathe in.

This is interesting I like it though. This is the kind of stuff I should be writing as I've been told I'm not writing to my "full potential" but whatever I've only been at this a few months were as it seems like you've been at it a few years! Nice job I think this is beautiful and well written!

a vibrant declaration of adoration.

The last two lines sums the entirety of the poem up, which is beautifully and poetically drawn out. To be comfortable in any situation, as long as someone else is there to be with you... it's an amazing thing.
