and what lies before us

 are tiny matters 

compared to what lies 

within us ”

" There's nothing I value

 more

 than the closeness of friends

 and family,
 a smile

 as I pass

 someone on the street. "

This morning out on my lanai

(the Hawaiian word for a porch,or balcony)

I noticed the white doves that live around

Ala Moana Park

 playingFlying with:

 the light,

the updraft,

and each other

beneath my 33 floor perch.

My [blog invisible] husband

had just left for the day.

Thoughts of how some birds mate

for life made me reflect

upon OUR seasons

together.

I enjoyed it so much, that I wrote this poem.

Or it would be truer to say

this poem wrote itself

with my pen, and to my delight.

Hope YOU like it:

" POEM"

 

Lucky are we who are blessed

(not cursed)

to be in a pair.

Especially the match

of lone-wolves,

 exceedingly rare.

Today I watched

the morning white birds

at play in the up-drafts

this building must birth-

Around anti-clockwise

again and again

thrilling harmony,

avian friends!

Their joy at one

with Waikiki-

mountains, fragrance,

excited people,

Aloha, 

the sea.

I must have watched them

the length of a song

engaging sight,

but more beautiful

thoughts.

Till they flew off

together

beyond the canal-

  I lost sight of them,

still wingtip

to wingtip,

among the trees

on the other side.

Thanks for perching here to share my view
