Poem -

to experience

Oh restless soul of mine!
At once
Climb the mountain long enough,
my spirit longs for the sea.

Swim the ocean brave enough,
I envy the climb.

Live amongst the crowd,
I dream of solitude.

Lonely in the oasis,
I dream of a companion.

Struggle in pain and sweat,
I fantasize my pillow.

Lazy in my comfort,
Prone in my bed,
I envision an epic adventure.

Like a mule tied to the mill,
I chase an ironic carrot.

It dangles in front of me.

Never satisfied,
Yet I am.
Because it is my quest
to experience all that I must.

Somehow, I know
That someday

I will know
When to rest 
And dream not.

Hi Robert,

I really enjoyed this piece and found it both interesting and unusual. I love the way you have written it, as I`m sure all the other members will do too. This is a beautifully well written and well thought through piece sweetie, it really showcases your talent for poetry with the way in which you have written and designed the piece.

Well done for a superb piece of work.
