Eternal Essence

I caught your essence in a dream,
And when I awoke I still had it in my hand.
I caught your spirit in the clouds,
And when I landed I still had it in my embrace.
I caught your love in the ocean's deepest abyss,
And when I surfaced I still had it in my heart.
I feel your voice on my skin, and your presence at my fingertips.
And your existence down my back.
And when I look into your eyes, your sky surrounds me.
Your oceans drown me.
Your sun's rays engulf me.
I belong to you.
All that I am.
All of my existence.
You shape me.
You mold me.
You create me with every breath you take.
