You

 You are the water that quenches my thirst,

The breath of the air I breathe in first.

You are the fire that keeps me warm,

The steady shelter in every storm.


You are the earth I will rest beneath,

The blinding light I still seek to see.

You are the sky I long to reach,

The silent truth I never preach.


You are the mountain I yearn to climb,

The patient strength that outlasts time.

You are the tree I rest below,

The quiet shade when I move too slow.


You are the river I bathe within,

Washing away where I have been.

You are the blanket, soft and tight,

That holds me through the longest night.


You, my love, are all I desired,

Every dream my soul required.

You never stole my heart away,

You chose to live there... and chose to stay.
