Gentle

You are one center in a world of many.

A safe place that I know I can always run.

A warmth that never ceases,

And the barrier that holds me together.



You are the well that holds my tears,

And the hero that scares away my fears.

The voice that soothes my mind,

And the smile I'd wait forever to see.



You are the sanctuary in which I hide.

A simple breath of fresh air in a world that suffocates me.

The addiction that never gets old,

And the habit I'll never grow out of it.



You are the words that fill my pages.

The fire that burns in this eternal flame.

A philosopher that speaks only the truth,

And the astronomer that shows me the stars.



You are the savior of life.

Allowing me to escape.

A wild adventure at every turn,

And a river that steadily flows.



You are the miraculous creature of mystery.

The key to my being.

Upon my lips, your name will stay.

For I know you'll never betray.



You are the cool breeze on a hot summer's day.

The rain that cures my insatiable thirst.

The storm that keeps me on my toes,

And the first to finally see me for me.



You are the spirit that flies so high,

With wings that always soar.

So far above the ground,

On a pedestal that reaches to the beyond.



You are the help when I am in need.

The symbol that I can share.

A sweet rose's petals,

And my shield against harm.



You the mender of wounds,

Even those too deep to heal.

The reason that blood flows,

And why death has closed its door.



You are the universal potion.

The treasure so sacred.

One with the world...

Your possibilities are endless.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this about someone who is very special to me, and who I wouldn't know what to do without. This person has been there for me in some rough times lately, and I would honestly be lost if it werent for this person.
