Bliss will find you
In liquid form
melting into your skin
and filling the pores with a delight
that only your soul knows…
what is needed
wished
and prayed for.
I like the idea of bliss being absorbed through the skin. My feeling your first few lines can be a metaphor but could also relate to the role of water in life and the desperate need some places on earth have for it. Any poem that has a role for the soul is one for me. And I like the verbs you use at the end.
I think your accompanying photographic image say's it all .. I can distinctly recall when volunteering in Africa we dug a well and the faces of those that it was meant to serve and those that helped create it looked very similar ..

You volunteering in Africa? Good man! I have a soft spot for Africa, the
cradle of humanity.
