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.

this could be taken in two ways...this could be a sensual experience or even a spiritual...or both ha

this has a deep and sensual quality ...as if you are totally at peace with everything, delightful phrase.

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

this is gorgeously enigmatic in which one moves beautifully back and forth on waves of perceptions~ at one point this feels like a song to mother earth~ at another a pouring of love into a lover~ they combine seamlessly in beautiful descriptives~

[Dream Weaver]
