How does one leave a location?
A vacation
where the mind
has sorted,
settled
and soothed itself
immersed
on an island
of pikake and plumeria
that float
on trade winds
where waves rustled past lava
and green turtles ambled
to shore.
A vacation
where the mind

settled
and soothed itself
immersed
on an island
of pikake and plumeria
that float
on trade winds
where waves rustled past lava
and green turtles ambled
to shore.
Where the texture
of coral and sand
collated with colors,
flashed at each turn
during a beach stroll.
The mind
dazed
hummed a
tune
long forgotten
until
retrieved in wonder.
Chants of the ancients
slanted from the palms
released into the sea.
To pass the time at ease in the ocean spray: E nanea i ka 'etukai
A celebrated place of awakening and growth: A 'o kēia ka wahi pana e ho'āla a ho'oulu iā 'oe
The heart rested
in a nest
of serenity.
One felt no
recall of distress
or a worried
thought.
A blast of rain
tasted magenta.
Time removed its
racing shoes
without a rush
to finish
anything.
Reminders
Hali’a Aloha
Fond recall
Fond recall
Stars expanded in flower and sky.
Memories dwell
in
flashes
of firelight.
Only relaxation remains.
