Analysis of I Am
I am the breeze that brushes your cheek
I am the comforrtaning arms you doth seek
I am the ripples that move through the waves
I am the bell tolls of the holy naives
I am the light that gleams from the sky
I am the gulls that taught you to fly
I am the sand flowing from within your fingers
I am the voice that still lingers
I am the loam that's drawn from the sea
I am the bloosms which brighten the trees
I am the sugary scent of pine and mint
I am the crackle that sparks fire with flint
I am all of these and so much more
But mostly I am just merely the dreams upon your shore
