A soldier stationed in Vietnam in 1968 wrote this poem. What does it mean?
Yes, I the awakened
(March 3, 1968)
As that wondrous song bird lands upon expectations of glee, tears are tumbling like boulders felled by landslides. Her heartbeat blows inward upon a wayward breeze; but the wayward thwarts my bliss like a beguiled serpent. There, the thunder is calling from the distance as marauding darkness is ever closer; slap after slap upon my face are stinging hail stones that are tormenters for this warrior from the far shore.
That blackness spawns tremulous wind-blown protrusions; they are fashioned death arrows. Every barb is of well honed steel, targeting this heart, ruthlessly without worry of the deadliness. As my gazes are past the marauding darkness, the beguiled serpent has serenaded her heart. But hark back at my sadness soul; the wondrous song bird sang melodious accolades, knowing my heart is protected by a golden shield.
I think its talking about how he lives throught the troubles of war. the serpent is the evil of killing. I think the rain signifies all the bullets. His heart is protected by gold because gold is undestructable.The gold is his defense against all the bad around him. He wont let sadness or all the killing overwheal him and turn him into a bitter person.
