Celebration! USA!

 

My Soldier-Love! (a soldier’s song-proud)

In the abyss of white diamond midnight-light

This tender-heart love-soars my spirit-bright

Come eternal dawns your face lives in sight

Together again one day soon my dream-delight

 

Pink-subtle hint of dawn colored eastern sky;

Shortly: Red! White! Blue!-hues blend-swirl;

Lovers awake to coolness-aspen whisper-wind;

Pine-y woods at tree line kisses bright sun-day.

 

Gazing into brown-crystal pools he takes her hand;

A gentle kiss sweet-love the pair does savor-share;

Breakfast on the open fire with sugar for tart-tea;

Gather camp, then challenge trail adventure-search.

 

Five miles to high-noon cold lunch respite-time;

Energy bars and trail mix snack onto relax-recline;

Absently she strums guitar as sun warms pretty face;

Her beau attentive gazes soft enamored sacred-tender.

 

 In an abyss of white high noon sun-light

This tender-heart love-soars my spirit-bright

Come eternal dawns your face lives in sight

Together again one day soon my dream-delight

 

Thy beauty-face with angel-song soothes my heart;

“I love you more than all of this!” Arms spread wide;

She smiled and whisper-sang her quatrain-love verse;

A stinging tear escaped her eye though she lamented it.

 

Soft, his fingertips erased the mar to taste the salt;

“I will return so soon once this tour is final-done”;

A lower lip quivered-slight belied resolve-intended;

Her body shuddered as he held her gentle-comfort close.

 

Backpacks upright they headed out, her strength recouped;

Miles ahead upon a shelter-ridge they pitched a tidy night-camp;

In flicker-shadows daguerreotype exposed veracity subtle-flashed;

Ebb-flow emotioned-passion undulated cadence universe-grandeur;

Later, hot-liquid stained his handsome face until she succumbed sleep.

 

In the abyss of white diamond midnight-light

This tender-heart love-soars my spirit-bright

Come eternal dawns your face lives in sight

Together again one day soon my dream-delight

Much too soon an evil loading-gate swallowed her love;

Back home she hiked the Great Divide, friend-in-hand;

To trace their steps, easy enough; her tight voice failed;

Desperately alone she fit-full tossed-slept the evil dark;

Morning-bright offered no relief; she somehow arrived home.

 

Eternal first-year slowly eroded a willing-life full-desire;

Friend-guitar gathered evil dust, forgotten on a deserted shelf;

Emotions slowly died save letters defined seeming lost life-love;

Too soon the nightmares assaulted anguished-hope in lost space.

 

For him, the evil “hell” alive with demon-monsters savage-insane;

Felt he could dodge green-tracer rounds leading lethal end-to-life;

Rifle-friend had saved him through time and space, a spirit injured;

Yet, true Love-abounds in hope with helmet-picture safe-secured.

 

In the abyss of red-laser death midnight-fright

This tender-heart love-soars his spirit-bright

Come eternal dawns love’s face lives in sight

Together again one day soon my dream-delight

 

Startled awake in stark-fear---the dream too real to think;

Her soldier-boy visited her home in hidden-shadow face;

A cold-ice hand reached out to vacant touch her pale hand;

Too much to bear she faded dull to beg bright morning sun.

 

They finally came by ten to check as she be an early riser;

Upon the tosseled bed she sat guitar-friend in steady-hand;

While in her absent-sleep the phone had blared somewhere;

Their tortured faces told the tale which she already evil-knew.

 

The flag-draped box Red! White! Blue! So quiet-still it rested;

Precision-cadence uniform-march to attention stand-salute;

Seated-front with a worn guitar the pretty lady strangely stoic;

Crisp-careful folded proud flag solemn presented with Love!

 

Blended-abyss Red! White! Blue! Noon-light

This purple-heart love-soars his spirit-bright

Come eternal dawns your Love!  lives in sight

Together again one day soon my dream-delight

 

In the abyss of white diamond midnight-light

This tender-heart love-soars my spirit-bright

Come eternal dawns your face lives in sight

Together again one day soon my dream-delight

Amen!
