Dare To Watch The Clouds

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Now we dare

To see the light,

In every dark

And weary night.

In holy mirth

We'll find the key,

To set good hearts

And spirits free.

         Cloudia Charters 

Look Up

Caught 

in the crawl of traffic,

I glance through 

my moon roof—

the sky is riding with me,

clouds that sing and flow

I don’t need it open;

just seeing wide blue 

is enough

The road ahead 

is not all there is,

Remember to 

watch the sky!

The bigger the darkness, 

the easier it is to 

spot your little light.

 Brother Andrew

 

It is not how much we do, 
but how much love we 
put in the doing.
 It is not how much 

we give, but 
how much love is 

put in the giving.

The garden of love is 

green without limit and 

yields many fruits.

Shimmering Embrace

 

For a brief 

and holy second,

our entire restless town

is being held

in a gentle, 

shimmering embrace!

Cupped hands, offering
Whose are they
Painted on the school wall,
holding morning light?
The teacher arrives

at the classroom door
softly unlocking the day.

Gecko Without a Tail

He slipped the grip of danger—
left his tail behind, 

twitching like a tiny decoy, and 
Survived to skitter up the leaf.

He's feeling oddly clumsy,
proud yet mortified 

Alive!—what a triumph.
But oh, the wounded vanity! 

He's really not himself.

How naked he feels,
waiting for it
to grow back.

Pixie

In her gaze, 

the world grows still,

A shimmer born 

of moonlit will.

She loves as stars love—

soft, aloof,

Yet curls at dusk 

beneath my roof.

Smile Cures

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

A smile cures
the wounding
of a frown.
William Shakespeare

I caught luck 

rounding the corner 
like it owns the place!
Wise, warm, and 

a little amused.
Brace Yourself!
The new year 

begins to gleam.

Good hearts speak

the same language even

though we come from

different backgrounds.

We are all

here now and trying to

walk the good path.

Yes. there are those

who have not joined yet.

But WE are the

truly rich ones.

Be Kind And Join Us! Pixie 

Pixie walked through the mirror

and came out twice behind. She didn’t care

which end was back

her tail kept twitching

anyway.

Don't ask which

way you’re going.

That's what Pixie says. just let your worries

get confused

chasing the wrong tail!

a nicer place if everyone had the

Way Out

 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

 Walk on a rainbow trail; 

walk on a trail of song, 

and all about you

will be beauty.

 There is a way out

of every dark mist, 

over a rainbow trail. 

Andra Davis

Frank Lloyd Wright

completed 1/3 of his 

life's work between the 

ages of 80 and 92.

Normal day, let me be

aware of the treasure you are.

Let me learn from you,

love you, savor you, bless you

before you depart. Let me not

pass you by in quest of some

rare and perfect tomorrow.

to love yourself, take care of yourself,

and to make your

Borrowed Glow

 A L O H A 

From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

The noblest art is
that of making
others happy.
    P. T. Barnum

 Blood Moon

Silver slips 
to copper-red,
High above 
the sleeping palms.
With half the island 
tucked in bed.
The sky assumes 
it's quiet calm.

It’s not a fire, 
nor a stain,
But every sunset 
we watched go
Reflected back 
to us again
In one shared, 
borrowed, 
crimson glow.

      Cloudia Charters

The only 
lasting beauty is
the beauty 
of the heart.
          Rumi

A kind heart is a 
fountain of gladness, 
making everything 
in its vicinity 
freshen into smiles.

Warbling White-eye (Zosterops japonicus), often called the Japanese White-eye or mejiro. Introduced from Japan in the 1920s-30s, it is now one of Hawaii's most common, noisy, and active urban/forest birds. Here on a Strelitzia nicolai, 

 or giant white bird of paradise.

Your pain is a school 

unto itself–– and 

your joy a lovely temple.

    Aberjhani

In silence
Souls communicate,
Beyond the need for words,
A gentle touch,
A knowing glance,
Where deeper truths
Are heard.
