Awakening

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The ground was hard
And skies were gray,
Through lingering storms
Despair held sway.
But hope the seed
Safe within
Begins to sprout
Awakened again! -



- Tiny green shoots
Fresh and bright,
A promise revealed
At dawn's first light.
Shadows linger
Fainter and fewer
Lucky hints murmur
richer and truer. -


- Solutions will bloom
And a helping hand,
Goodness returning
Across our land.
Cloudia Charters




The people who matter
will recognize
who you are.

I love you sharing your wisdom. Hope is a fragile necessity isn't it?

Cloudia said...

So good to hear you both

I love the way you integrated your pictures with your poem. I like the part about the seed of hope with tiny green shoots, and I like the shot of Pixie, Queen of the jungle amidst the now flourishing shoots.

What a wonderful poem! Thank you for sharing that, and the Hawaiian song. I love that big cloud in the blue sky.
And the yoga lady made me smile (or rather the little girl made me smile).
Happy T-Day Cloudia,
