A poem simply sounds the bell, of that which words could never tell.

LETTER FROM BOB

I will admit
A craving to travel,
While I suck and spit,
Rearranging
the gravel,

Dream on - Bob,
Dream on . . .

Till no stone
is left unturned,

There's no real chance
For a searching soul
To escape
from the trance
Of a goldfish bowl,

Dream on - Bob,
Dream on . . .

Glasshouse lessons 
still unlearned,

It's a dream of mine
To swim a straight line,
An ocean, 
a river
Or even a stream,

Dream on - Bob,
Dream on . . .

To be out of reach,

should the cat bore of cream . . .

still here reading this poem of yours and thinking, man ! what a sad song ...hope Gaïa listen to it because there is also an ocean of love between Bob's words

Thank you Une Nouille Martienne - perhaps escape is only a dream - how can we escape what we are - liberty - freedom from what, exactly?

Hmmmm . . .
