The Nature of my Passion

life-giving
liquiform
elemental,
you water
my soul.
i need you
as much as
i need oxygen.
your absence
has shown me
the true nature
of my passion.
great leveller,
carry me,
that i might
float to the
ends of the world
or dive
into your depths
becoming
more of me.
wash away the dirt
and imperfections.
smooth away
the rough edges
and make me
more like you.
why was i
made
for this purpose?
i need you.
