Mountain Path

 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

If it seems a childish 

thing to do, do it 

in remembrance that 

you are a child.

Frederick Buechner

Our way is not soft grass; 

it’s a mountain path 

with lots of rocks. But 

it goes upwards, forward, 

toward the sun.

Ruth Westheimer

Let the darkest times

reveal the brightest you!

 Somya Kedia

Breathe, and let the Quiet mend you.

The stars hum prayers you forgot you knew.

Roots drink light Beneath the soil, Surviving richly

free of toil.

Breathe and let The silence mend you. Relax and let the

spirit befriend you. Cloudia Charters

After the rain,

the sun will reappear.

There is life.

After the pain, 

The joy will still be here.

The Kind Of People They Are

 A  L  O  H  A 
From

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. 

    Robert Motherwell

They lean into the day, hands sure, laughter easy, a choreography of knowing

what must be done.

Something ordinary

is whole again.

The ground beneath us

is held together

by such teamwork,

quiet, continuous,

mostly unseen.

Cloudia & Pixie

I’m learning that my life

 is mine to create on my own, 

and that it will never compare

 to someone else’s‚—

and that’s the beauty of it.

A wounded heart will heal in time, and when it does, the memory and love of our lost ones is sealed inside to comfort us. Brian Jacques

Only Thing

 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

A happy person is not 

a person in a certain set 

of circumstances, but 

rather a person with a 

certain set of attitudes.

                 Hugh Downs

To have the stars above, 

the land to your left and 

the sea to your right and 

to realize of a sudden that 

in your heart, life has 

accomplished its final 

miracle: it has become 

a fairy tale.

          Nikos Kazantzakis, 

                                        Zorba the Greek

Love is the only thing 

that can touch our soul 

and change our heart.

            Lailah Gifty Akita

 When 'I' 

is replaced with

 'We', 

even 'Illness'

 becomes 'Wellness'. " 

                                     Malcolm X.

Fair Dawn

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

The sky is an 

infinite movie to me. 

I never get tired 

of looking at 

what's happening 

up there. 

    K. D. Lang

The sun after the rain 

is much more beautiful than

the sun before the rain.

Mehmet Murat ildan

Dawn after bad weather 
carries a different light — 
one that feels washed clean, 
In the sky and in my soul.
Such mornings remind us
that endurance has beauty.
Peace is not an
absence of storms but
the quiet that follows at last.
Cloudia Charters

No amount of regret 

changes the past.

No amount of anxiety

changes the future.

But any amount of gratitude

changes the present.

Waikiki Night

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Waikiki Night

Green lights sing 
In Waikiki
Curled around 

the palm trees

Mopeds buzz

 like fireflies,
 laughter bouncing 

off hotel glass

Surfboards sleep, 

salt-dreaming on 

lanai above,

Shop signs blink 

open–open–open,
as if the night 

itself is for sale.

 steel guitar riffing

 lime-bright chords 

all over the sidewalk,

Be sure to 

leave a dollar.

 Moving through it 

for decades
my heart keeps time 

with the crosswalk’s 

flashing "Walk".

The surf nearby

conspirator,
holds the 

moonlight close,

Every wave whispers: 

stay, stay, stay,
the night is not 

finished with me yet.

 Cloudia Charters

Your smile bows to mine,

The night bows to us both.

In this small shared light,

Worries fall like dying leaves,

Namaste.

Yellow-fronted Canary 
(Crithagra mozambica), 
a species established in Hawaii. 

You can fly away, In the sky away You more lucky than me. Yellow Bird, Jamaican Traditional

A bird came tapping 

on the sill,

The morning air 

was soft and still.

But kitty dreamed 

in curled-up grace,

Sunlight painting 

her whiskered face.

We gave the bird 

a sip to stay,

It sang, then 

quickly flew away—

And kitty, stretching, 

gave a sigh,

Never knowing 

it fluttered by!

White Tern preening

Aeschylus

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.
