.Purity.

If you know me, you know how much non rhyming poems irk me. This one pretty much made me cry though. I like it =]

Purity

You're just what I needed
You're honesty and silence
You're patience and compassion
You're humor and resilience and faith
You're just what I needed

I've spent many a long night wandering the world
i've seen stars fall
I've seen the moon cover the sun
I've seen hungry children
I've seen love
I've seen poetry in motion
I've seen music, visible and tangible
But never in all my many nights travels have I
Seen anything like you.

I've never seen a spirit that rises with such grace after falling
I've never seen a smile with such warmth
I've never seen a heart so strong regardless of trials
I've never seen so raw a passion
I've never seen so sharp a mind
I've never seen so determined a will
Never in all my many travels have I
Seen anything like you.

You're just what I needed
You're stars falling
You're the moon covering the sun
You're the hunger, ever present in children, but often missing in people
You're love
You're poetry in motion
You're music, visible and tangible
You're just what I needed
You're everything I need
You're purity
