I Am
By Richard Maxfield
8-7-2000

I am a world
In a world
Spinning off in space
I am a man
In a man
Hidden behind a face

I am a heart
In a heart
Do I not cry
I am a soul
In a soul
Asking the question why

I am love
In side of love
Yet I set alone
I am pain
In pain
Yet I’m not gone

I am a dream
Inside a dream
But wake to reality
I am an eye
Inside an eye
Looking for the real me

We can always look a lttle deeper within our emotions beyond our exterior shells and still not figure it out. Your poem adds a nice twist to all the other "I Am" poems that I have so enjoyed reading, Bob <><

You are perfect, and so is this

Stone walls do not a prison make
Nor iron bars a cage
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for a hermitage
If I have freedom in my love
And in my s
