Vanished Art: This Face

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

In a world
full of
temporary things
you are
a perpetual
feeling.
Sanober Khan






This face
has been effaced.
Only temporary, 
she swam on a 
Construction Fence
about a decade ago.
Never meant to endure,
she looks at you,
saved by street photography.
I remember meeting her.
The world was different and
so was I.










For it is up to you and me
to take solace
in nostalgia's arms
and our ability
to create
the everlasting
from
fleeting moments.
        Sanober Khan






One clear moment,
one of trance
One missed step,
one perfect dance
One missed shot,
one and only chance
Life is all...but
one fleeting glance.
        Sanober Khan

There May Wait

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The crown of life is
neither happiness nor
annihilation it is
understanding.
   Winifred Holtby 





Your Mother was
A Hamster
and you Father
Smelled of elder
berries.
  John Cleese












Nights and days came and passed
And summer and winter
and the rain.
And it was good to be a little Island.
A part of the world
and a world of its own
All surrounded by the bright blue sea.
                    Margaret Wise Brown





Still round the corner 
there may wait, A new
 road or a secret gate.
J. R. R. Tolkien





What's the one thing
I need to know today?

Light Feels Right

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Small lights have
a way of being seen
in a dark world.
Neal A. Maxwell



You don’t have to
be a people-pleaser,
just a people-lover.
Beth Moore






Nothing can dim the
light that shines
from within.
 Maya Angelou






The world is so empty
if one thinks only of
mountains, rivers & cities;
but to know someone who
thinks & feels with us,
& who, though distant,
is close to us in spirit,
this makes the earth for
us an inhabited garden.
Goethe






Daily Work Continues






Only once you’ve [literally]
climbed a mountain in
the rain and cold
can you truly
enjoy your dinner.
Helen Russel



Stars don’t shine
because they want
to be seen.
They shine because
they are stars.
Iggy

Afternoon Aftermath

A L O H A From Honolulu!
All the technique
in the world doesn’t
compensate for the
inability to notice.
    Elliott Erwitt




One joy scatters
a hundred griefs.
   Chinese proverb






Ahu is a Hawaiian altar,
shrine, or cairn
utilized for spiritual
and ceremonial purposes
in both the past and
the present...
Modern ahu are considered
as authentic as the
ancient structures,
being part of a
living Hawaiian culture that
still continues today.







Honolulu is many dialogues.
Here a 19th century wall
in a city park, and
her 20th century neighbor
enjoy the trees and hushed
traffic from Beretania St.





Age is frequently beautiful,
wisdom appearing like
an aftermath.
Benjamin Disraeli





My life is a roller coaster
on golden wheels;
IT IS NEVER GOING
TO BE PERFECT but
I am glad for
the perfect moments.
Daniel Derrick Mwesigye
