Homestead Greenery

In the garden, mud squished beneath my feet.
I dreamt of oceans vast and concrete,
Where rainbows danced upon the waves,
And washed stone glistened in the sun's raves.

But beyond the sea, darkness loomed.
And creatures of the deep entombed,
A world of mystery and fear
Where danger lurked and death was near.

Yet still, I yearned to explore.
To sail the seas and seek out more,
To brave the storms and face my fate,
And discover what lies beyond the gate.

For in my heart, a fire burned,
A passion that could not be turned
To grasp the world and all its wonder,
And now bygone be held asunder.

So I set sail and left the shore,
To seek the treasures that lie in store,
To chart fresh lands and conquer fears,
And live a life without any tears.

And though the journey was cruel and long,
And intermittently I felt weak and wrong.
I never gave up on my throng.
