Shouting At The Void

I AM!!
When last I looked upon a mirror,
I wondered that indeed,
I do exist.
There I was,
In living color.
Yet, strangely not alive.
A reproduction of the shell
Within which, I am alone.
A prisoner.  To my feelings —
	Of love,
	Of joy,
	Of hope,
	Of happiness,
and of the pervasive rapture
	Of my aloneness;
There are none to share —
	to totally understand.
Within my finiteness,
	the universe is captured.
Within the universe,
	my finiteness is insignificant.
And yet…  I AM!!
Against the scale of all that is,
I AM!!
Though locked within
this fragile shell,
My living consciousness
joyously proclaims
To the farthest reaches
of the void  —
I AM!!!
