This winter was wet in Waikiki.
Rainy perhaps, but in a beautiful tropical way!
News of blizzards and tornadoes from the "continent" sure put a little sweet rain (`Ua Li`i Li`i) into perspective. And when the skies do clear, WOW!
Today, I saw a city worker mowing the grassy highway median, followed by an assistant: a tall white egret hungry for stirred-up snacks. Ah the smell of fresh-cut grass!
And gingers are suddenly blooming EVERYWHERE; Red Torch Ginger, delicate Pink Shell Ginger. . .
Once again O`ahu dons her Spring aloha wear of blossoms. . .
April is the cruelest month, so the poet claims.
Her fresh green blooming mocks our creaky backs. . .
And we remember
those
who, unlike Persephone,
have not returned,
to us. . .
But do not mourn
for Spring is Born
Again
In our hearts
Wreathed
In gentle
Mists. . .
A L O H A! CLOUDIA
