Everything Needed For A Good Life

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Sunrise hues, a painted sky,

A child's laughter, soaring high.

The rain's soft song, a gentle drum,

The warmth of love,

where hearts are one.

           Cloudia

Everything needed

for a good life is

wherever people are.

           Cloudia

Savor moments big and small,

Let worries go then watch them fall.

With open heart, dear grateful soul,

In every breath let joy unfold.

                      Cloudia

If you suddenly 

and unexpectedly 

feel joy, 

don't hesitate.  

Give in to it. 

      Mary Oliver

Care To Guess?

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth. Ludwig Borne

What's happening here?

Just playful delight?

On these out-of-place stairs

bathed in sunlight.

I came upon this scene

so strange.

What's going on

 is still unexplained.

I would LOVE to hear

YOUR guesses!

0ur mind heals with laughter, 

and the spirit heals with joy.

 Karen Sather

  

Don't let one cloud

obliterate the whole sky.

                  Anaïs Nin

Joy is the simplest

form of gratitude.

    Karl Barth

 

Pixie's mouth opens wide,

Pink tongue peeks, a sleepy slide. Her stretch unfurls then paw extends, A yawn escapes, the day begins.

For Loving Hearts

A L O H A From Honolulu!

When we feel love and

kindness toward others, it

not only makes others feel

loved and cared for, but

it helps us also to develop

inner happiness and peace.

The 14th Dalai Lama

Creative people need time to

just sit around and do nothing.

If you're out of ideas, wash the dishes.

Take really long walk. Stare at a

spot on the wall for as long as you can.

Austin Kleon

On bustling street

a fleeting sight,

Gentle hand

and touch so light.

A child with soiled

and tearful face,

Finds solace

in a mother's grace.

Her knee that bends

and touch so light,

Whispered words

to make it right.

Love's simple act

in passing seen,

My heart overflows,

warm and keen.

                     Cloudia

Love is blooming every place

If we have eyes open to grace.

For loving hearts the world unfolds,

In every touch a story told.

Don't Shout But Speak Volumes

A L O H A From Honolulu!

My pavilion soars and

I float with the clouds.

Chinese Proverb

In everyone's life, at some time,

our inner fire goes out. 

It is then burst into flame 

by an encounter with 

another human being. 

We should all be thankful 

for those people who 

rekindle the inner spirit.

Albert Schweitzer

The Little Prince

Those who can raise their

thoughts to heaven will

always have clear days,

because the sun always

shines above the clouds.

 ‎Leo Tolstoy, 

Appreciate
how well you are coping
at this highly unusual time! Take a moment to notice
your quiet competence
that doesn't shout,
but speaks volumes.

Poetry Takes Over

A L O H A From Honolulu!

In a green place,

see my real face

No mirrors here,

just nature's grace,

In a green place, you can

wear your real face.

Then return to the world

with renewal and grace.

Clouds are not loud

just high on the sky

oblivious to unknowing crowds

and watchers such as you and I.

I adore the exclamation point:

No grand facade, no gilded name

just doorway to a world untold,

where hearts connect,

and troubles flee

in moments of pure gold.

Tricks and sleights of hand,

illusions that amaze,

But something deeper dances

within magician's gaze.

Beyond the trickster's art

a hidden truth resides,

In sleights of heart

the greater part

where empathy confides.

Card tricks become metaphors,

illusions speak of trust,

And every vanishing act reminds us,

nothing's lost, just transformed;

We adjust.

The audience smiles

with sparkling eyes,

forgetting fears and pain,

Weary souls find solace

In laughter's healing rain.

The grand finale is more

than theater smoke and flare,

Hearts unveil, and burdens lift

as emotions are laid bare.

When applause begins to fade,

Magic lingers in our hearts

Have we played or prayed?

Something's fading, something starts.

Come to the little theater

where dreams and lives collide,

And find the magic waiting there

Come now. Don't wait.

Step inside!

Cloudia [All]

Hearts rebuilt from hope 

resurrect dreams 

killed by hate.

Each star is a mirror

reflecting the truth

inside you.

Two Word Wisdom

A L O H A From Honolulu!

All who joy would win
must share it.
Happiness was
born a Twin.
Lord Byron

Everything we hear is an opinion,

not a fact. Everything we see is

a perspective, not the truth.

 Marcus Aurelius 

Enjoy the journey,
the stumbles, the climb,
The lessons that linger
with the passage of time.

Cloudia

Short stories and poems are

an intense burst of emotions.

Gulzar

Two word wisdom
light and brief,
A simple truth
To life's relief:
"Enjoy it"
