Mystery discreetly disclosed.
Changing moods reveal details of shades

Designed by nature with a clue,
Watchful minds eye, will break the venue.

Blended aspiring deployment,
Thine story so brightly depicted....

Peace dove
Bay of Pigs
Childhood nightmare
President Kennedy
Peace dove

Peace dove
Viet Nam
Terror of Youth
Made 1960’s sad
Peace dove

Peace dove
The Gulf War
My daughter’s turn
In charge of deployment
Peace Dove...

She writes with pain,
tears in her words,
and a salty whimper in her sigh.

She walks without feeling,
hiding her fears,
sheltering her sadness.

She only cries alone,
for no one to hear,
so no one can see.

She is true and real,
strong and fair,
prepared to accept her failure;
prepared to accept her demise....

Que Dices, Sarah?

No wooden-cross 
parachute deployment awaits
where we held
not one another
but separate breaths
that lit the candle
which ushered in darkness
the only kept
promise our broken 
home still fixates.

How do we square
this parallelogram,
hmm, Lassie?

Or is it simply a case of 
que sera, sera, Sarah?...

Jesus Savior of Humanity-

 
All American
Back from the island
A charter member of the United Nation
Deployment of  races
Environment DNA bloodline in the clay 
Flourish onward mighty creator
Giver of life 
Heavenly Father of all things
Immortal inventor creator of heaven
Jesus Savior of humanity

Enthusiasm
pandemonium
erupts when he comes
home from deployment;
soldier on furlough.

Swiftly bum-rushed 
by wife and kids,
which took him by 
surprise indeed!

His dog, "Chooks,"
joined in, too
Family...

of five
sure missed...

Dad.

IMMIGRATION.

Are migrants proud Australians?
Our nation based on immigration,
One polyglot meld of humanity,
To Australia, show fidelity.
Our nation of peaceful tolerance,
People from Earth's shifting sands,
Living here in Great Southern Land,
Deployment should not be our dance,
Nothing wrong with loyalty,
Patriotism our children's legacy,
--Great Southern Land,
All welcome to be Australians!...

Genuine love adds value to lives that cherish, welcome, water, nurture, nourish it and furnish a conducive environment for its germination, growth and its development into a nugget that both lives require for its fuller realization and deployment in two hearts on fire, imbued with the right chemistry at the right time and in the right place. 

Sublime love caresses
kisses, blesses, elevates
edifies, magnifies....

all alone
on my own
now that you left me
~
can't imagine
how you're doing
now that you've left me 
~
you just left
you left me with a broken heart
you just
quit our love
no more deployment
you gave up you just quit before we start
~
all alone
on my own
now that you left me
~
can't imagine
how you're doing
now that you've left me

In a life like these
We need Jesus
Hatred self loathing depleted

Recognition redirecting change of heart
Never more part turn around
Depleted anxieties deployment idolatry 
No more worshipping my desires negative woes
I am mine worst enemy 

In a life like these
We need Jesus
Hatred self loathing depleted
We need
You need
I need Jesus
Everything else is secondary 
He has
He does
Meet our needs 
We need Jesus
