Loving you is like water:
Soothing, vital, ever-flowing.
Immersing myself in you,
Sometimes reluctant –
A shock to my system.
Warming up to find
This is healthy, this is safe;
There is space for me here.
Once accustomed, ready
to dive in again and again
with no more hesitation.
Supported and weightlessly floating,
Not even the darkest depths frighten me.
Majestic waterfall, sinuous river, profound sea.
For every crashing wave of your emotions,
For every high and low of your tides,
For every impulsive pull of your currents –
I want to be submerged in all of you.
Powerful, healing, vast and endless;
Loving you is like water:
absolutely life-giving.
