Anzac Day Man<\/p>\n
Where did you go?<\/p>\n
Was it an apparition from the<\/p>\n
Divine?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A lost love<\/p>\n
A divine lesson learnt<\/p>\n
Complete abandon<\/p>\n
At the loss from my life<\/p>\n
When you boarded that plane<\/p>\n
To serve our country<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A man of conviction, of purpose<\/p>\n
A deep abiding love underneath that<\/p>\n
Chiselled athletic persona<\/p>\n
A darkness, pain, suffering<\/p>\n
And heart break<\/p>\n
Fear and confusion in intimacy<\/p>\n
Better to get on that plane<\/p>\n
Not fearing death<\/p>\n
The fear lies within<\/p>\n
The man in the mirror<\/p>\n
Reflecting back at you<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A love lost indeed<\/p>\n
Or is it?<\/p>\n
I think not!<\/p>\n
A love deep within<\/p>\n
From another time and place<\/p>\n
Transitional and shifting in this lifetime<\/p>\n
Alas short but sweet<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An astute student am I? It\u2019s taken over a<\/p>\n
Decade to understand the connection<\/p>\n
Was it real? Or just my imagination?<\/p>\n
A gift from the divine<\/p>\n
To assist me in my hour of need<\/p>\n
Yet I do mourn you<\/p>\n
Anzac Day Man<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Even after all this time<\/p>\n
Blessed be for my life<\/p>\n
Has been touched in a way that<\/p>\n
Will not come to pass in this<\/p>\n
Life time again<\/p>\n
Thank you Anzac Day Man<\/p>\n
