I AM


I am a little girl

with many senseless fears.

I am a half-grown woman

who cries with life's cruel tears.

I am a little elf

who frolics in a stream.

I am a fairy maiden

with many broken dreams.

I am a wandering mind

in search of love and care.

I am a simple soul

who must belong somewhere.

I am a roaming spirit

without a destiny.

I am a single person

who drifts eternally.

I am an earth-bound ego,

unleashed - and yet, not free.

I am all of these,

But most of all, I'm me!

Trinka Powers - copr. 1970
