This that I am,
that I be,
that I will,
as I ponder.

This as I wish,
as I write,
as I love,
though I want not.

This though I was,
though I can,
though I cry,
for which I live.

This which I dream,
which I hope,
which I strive for,
can be caught.

This that I am,
as I write,
Though I cry, 
for which I dream.

This which I am, 
This that I was,
This for which I write,
That I reach,
Can still be caught.
