There is something idescribable:
sunlight gilding the fronds of a palm.
As the palm hulas in the wind
the light dances accross the leaves.
How describe the play of pure light?
Green? Silver?
Silver-green?
Poetic but not true.
Just pure light dancing
with the leaves.
But even in Hawaii
few consciously enjoy them
or contamplate the cloudscapes
where the people of old
saw movies from
Akua. *
*Hawaiian word for the Divine, or God. A L O H A! Cloudia
To me it is more pleasant of an experience to realize that Akua is the director of the film than being a walk on in the film.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem!
