STONE WALLS DO NOT A PRISON MAKE NOR IRON BARS A CAGE. (Tuck Everlasting)

If you were to paint what a cage looks like, won't you draw solid silver bars?
and describe it with words such as unbreakable     hard      strong.   tough.  tight.  . Remember          
this is just a painting    dear friend. 
Listen, Bruce Lee whispers,
 " be water, my friend" 
and I'm telling you,  
-flow _________________
 in between the bars,.   the stone walls, 
this time,         you are transparent …
feel  feel feel

the bars ........... their lightness,
 the foamy texture of the walls 
try to be silent.
they are         -air        - blankness
Let it pass, let it pass, 
in between your fingers,     swirl,       calmly,       lift your feet.
 The only door, wall and bar here is  YOU.
 Lift !
 open! Walk forward! 

 See, you are nearer.
 No,
no confusion, this is right. 
Push......
think about everything you want to wave goodbye to. 
Wave,
 wave happily, 
say goodbye. 
Goodbye.
