The Riddle of I

Beginning the infinite insanity of intrigue,


I weave myself in invincibility


If I find a place among the stars,


it will pave a path that leads to somewhere


It's a place where enigma can never elude me


as I become forever lost in the mystery


of seeing myself as part of the question


but never becoming a part of the answer


It's where ignorance has found a place for me


even as I stand as a pillar of inspiration


Now, I'm right in the middle of emptiness


but lost in the chasm of hollowness


Surely I cannot be severed from reality


lest I risk losing my identity


For I am but a sigh in a whisper


while ever present in the wind


I am but a ripple in the river


while never present in the sea


And I shall remain among the living


as I'll be gone in death, but not in dying

Critique:I can never be in awe although I will always be in the midst of admiration of your poem (sorry couldn't resist continuing the theme). Very clever & thought provoking as a poem in its own right, even without the riddle theme. I enjoyed reading it.  I came back to revise the grade on this critique, having read it again I think it deserves 4 stars, its a great write & a vote for spotlight writing.
