Beyond The Vast Ocean's Kingdom

Beyond the Vast ocean's kingdom lies a splendid land without boredom; there this wandering boy discovered real joy, stumbling on beauty that defined harmony! Other kids spent their entire afternoons at the soccer field, he climbed many hills, and the wonders he saw enriched his intellect: was he a prodigious child or a would-be poet? There he avidly consumed his fancy-free days watching the big-winged eagles in swift flight, and the noisy airplanes soar above white clouds; he followed them 'till they disappeared in distance! Did he choose soothing solitude as a means of escape, running to idyllic places to jot down unrhythmical words on his pad from the reflection he made on the landscape? His peers lacked the imagination to pursue poetic thoughts! Distance is grief, while time transforms his wrinkled looks, not the vigor of youth that prompted many humorous jokes; even now he remembers well that beyond the vast kingdom: he can retrace the footsteps of his puberty to regain freedom!
