What Am I

Oh God
What am I?
Am I just 
A speck of dust
Or only a clod
Of sod
Upon this Earth
That gave me birth?
Lord
Am I child of discord
Lost in an alien land
Under my own command?
Or am I
A spirit free,
With a spiritual identity
Reaching toward infinity?

Awesome questions presented. The answer, really, is to look within. Nicely done!
