Southern Cross : Bushranger's Revetment - Poetry and Stories by Vietnam Veteran, Anthony W. (Bushranger) Pahl and friends

Do you see the Southern Cross?
Southern Cross?
Yes! Southern Cross!
Do you see the Southern Cross
up in the Southern night?
I live beneath the Cross.
Five stars provide the light.

Do you feel the Southern Cross?
Southern Cross?
Yes! Southern Cross!
Do you feel the Southern Cross
up in the Southern sky?
I soar beneath the Cross.
Five stars to help me fly.

Can you hold the Southern Cross?
Southern Cross?
Yes! Southern Cross!
Can you hold the Southern Cross
above the Southern land?
I pray beneath the Cross.
Five stars in my God’s hand.

Can you follow the Southern Cross?
Southern Cross?
Yes! Southern Cross!
Can you follow the Southern Cross
across the southern land?
I follow the Southern Cross.
Because it’s there I can.

Can you describe the Southern Cross?
Southern Cross?
Yes! Southern Cross!
Can you describe the Southern Cross
so I can understand?
I could describe the Southern Cross
but it would limit what I am.

Are you the Southern Cross?
Southern Cross?
Yes! Southern Cross!
Are you the Southern Cross?

I think perhaps I am!
