Tiny Walker, Cloud Castle, Grackle

 

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

To know
your ruling passion,
examine your
castles in the air.
Richard Whately

Crackle, grackle,

dusk will fall,

Still you chatter,

still you call.

Shadows stretch

and softly spackle—

Dreams will hum

of grackle crackle.

Crackle grackle,

dusk falls fast, Chatter chatter,

shadows cast! Tap-tap feet

on trackle track— Dreaming, gleaming,

grackle back!

Common Grackle
Bright yellow eye

and iridescent plumage that

shifts between purple,
blue, and green in the light.

The greatest weapon 

against stress is our 

ability to choose one

thought over another.

    William James

Don't be afraid of the shadows, 

it only means there's 

a light nearby.

Promise In Colour

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Rainbow drifted
over the city
a promise in color
soft as breath.

White rock

rust veined
wave receded
It remained.

Small bright refusal
to be ordinary,
half-sunk

in wet sand.

You can be stuck
and still shine!

Cloudia Charters

 Small lights 

  have a way of being seen 

 in a dark world. 
 Neal A. Maxwell 

Your greatest test,
is when you are to
bless someone else
while you are going
through your own storms...
That is the very key
that will unlock the
gates of Heaven
over our lives if we just learn
to listen, to be kind
and to let go...
Rafael Garcia

Now-y

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Never regret

anything you have done

with a sincere affection;

nothing is lost

that is born of

the heart.

Basil Rathbone

Here shall be
eternal summer
in the grateful heart.
Celia Thaxter

I walk without flinching
through the burning cathedral
of the summer.
My bank of wild grass
is majestic
and full of music.
Violette Leduc

Hey!
It's summer!
Be free and happy
and danceful
and uninhibited
and now-y!
Terri Guillemets

From

Honolulu

Everything that's created

comes out of silence.

Your thoughts emerge from

the nothingness of silence.

Your words come

out of this void.

Your very essence emerged

from emptiness.

All creativity requires

some stillness.

Wayne Dyer

The Gulf fritillary or passion butterfly

(Dione vanillae or Agraulis vanillae)

An introduced butterfly in Hawai‘i, established after passion vines arrived in the 1800s; recorded on O‘ahu by the late 1970s.

Tranquil pleasures

last the longest...

We are shaped

and fashioned

by what we love

Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart. Roy T. Bennett

Even the poorest street

is rich with people on it

work again if you unplug it

for a few minutes. . .

Including you.
