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 do not know how I feel about this. The words used seem rather trite, like I could find each line in another poem. But I like the overall feeling I get from it. And when I ponder it, I like it more. But I am still uncertain.

I wish I could give you a straight-forward review, but I simply am confused about how I feel about this piece.

At first I thought this was going to be in a different language so I shunned away from it. I can only speak english. I don't know how to pronounce your title, I like the write it's very lovely.

Very romantic. Her love is as essential to him as the sun! Lovely.
