What Is A Continent To Love? Poem by Stephen Denny Paul White

What is a continent to love?
of equal shall they be?
a vast expanse of barren land
stretched farther than the eye can see?

some of deserts, some of towns
amongst a melancholy sound
the rivers that run through the soul
of continents yet full to grow

of what does end, we'll never know
shall length be love, we'll measure slow
a ruler that has yet be made
to measure lengths not quite finite

much smaller, incoherent of
what is a continent to love?
a dream we held as a small child
love, the river stretched for miles
