Beyond This Huge Continent

Beyond this huge continent where seas separate adored faces and smiles smeared with sadness, I left what was a living part of me; spring meadows that seemed prairies with wildflowers giving more beauty to a sunset not wanting to fade away... I can only remember them with regret! Must I relive a past that makes me weep for that happiness I felt going through my being, and while living the adolescent years of an adventurous boy who climbed steep cliffs and encountered many dangers, no joy could be compared to conquering hills... were new thrills were delightfully and anxiously found! I discovered them deepening my love for Nature and God and their revelation was greater than my understanding when the deer leaped, when the butterflies gathered near a brook that ran through rocks and make bubbling sounds! Beyond this huge continent with an ocean very vast and turbulent that has seen shipwrecks disappearing into its depths, I'm shivering thinking if I ever could transverse it; a captain with a bold spirit displays an act of courage, that bravery not innated in me rises rage and although imagination is quicker than reality, the odds are against me, and from this shore, distance frightens! Beyond this huge continent with waves that scare seagulls, an inanimate being doesn't know where his tomorrow lies!
