Where's That Farthest Place

This excessive weight of the past overwhelms me more than a swift and impetuous river that never reaches the remote sea I spot from miles; I wait in such a dire disappointment and sobbing, I breathe silence, holding off the tears that want to flow freely, liberating themselves from the captured soul in defiance which has nothing to denounce! Where's that farthest place on which one can cry while a nightingale slowly approaches and consoles him with his melody? Where's that hand gently caressing someone without hope to offer him its tenderness? I choose to wait while losing myself in the serenity of an evening sparking with brilliance... displaying colors that amaze! If there were secrets to be revealed, mine would be the most mysterious... would I have the courage to free them? Eternal God, come down this blood-stained earth and keep me some company until brightness lasts; nobody will find me, nobody will ask me if aloneness hurts, if shadows will hide the celestial glory of the magnificent skies; if fear will descend upon me and dread will be visible on the face not willing to take elm, but condemning the ongoing war that causes death! Where's that farthest place in which the aroma of jasmine intensifies the true essence of life? I refuse to wait uselessly but I'll haste for new adventures awaiting somewhere; I'll take the longest and lesser-known path that leads to a frontier without any borders, I'll go searching for hallowed peace, for bright horizons that are as glorious as dreams!
