I am

I am         

I am man
I am nature
I am of life and of death,

I am lesser
I am greater
I am of right and of left,

I am mechanical
I am manual 
I am technically a wound up mouse,

I am loud
When I am silent
I am inadvertently at fault with doubt,

I the ego, me the person 
I the genius, me the fool
I am lost when I am chosen
Found
I am
A part from you.

I like your series of poetic contrasts Ant. Of course the wound up mouse line is a fave

Thanks Tom. It was a poem I had written a while ago and then later reworked. Glad you liked it.
