In Golden Flight

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Blazing in the sunset skies,
Heraldic creature of delight,
What are you, what are your eyes,
What is the mystery of your flight?



Your wings are wide over seas,
Your body a golden flame,
such a creature of mystery,
Vision of the spirit's Name.



You float on air, to
soar above the mountain's height,
You are a symbol of fire,
Sign of the soul's delight.



You spirit of freedom,
Of soul's unconquered will,
You are the herald of Coming,
Messenger of New Day.



Light that shines in darkness,
Hope that never dies,
Love that conquers all things,
Eternal Spirit Rise.



Today well lived makes
every yesterday a dream of
happiness, and every tomorrow
a vision of hope. Look well,
therefore, to this day.
Indian Proverb

A Good friend once told me:
"THESE are the Good Old Days"
All these years later
I Know That He Was Right!

So now I'm telling you:
"THESE are
the Good Old Days"

Now Go
And Make Us Right!

What amazing sky shots. Love the fluffy clouds. And of course, I love the balancing act of the drink. These ARE truly the good old days and I am glad to be living in them, too. Thanks for this beautiful post and your drink you shared with us for T this week, dear Cloudia.

The 'Herald of the Coming Good' is a book on YouTube. It's only 3 hours long.

Your posts always make me think about our trips to Hawaii, and now of course I have been thinking a lot about the disaster in Maui. Today I posted about Maui and the terrible wrongs of colonialism and big agriculture that have contributed to a very bad situation.

best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
