I am (part 2)

I am the thirst of the man in the dry desert and the strength of him who swims the ocean deep I am bound in the flesh of a man but my spirit soars high and free My goal is the cup of water that quenches the deep thirst I seek more than knowledge I long for more than experience I want more than fame or fortune My goal is unattainable in a lifetime but achieved at death My eyes watch My ears listen My soul wants . . . I am
