Spring Hopes


 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U


Maybe the story  
You whisper in the dark 
Isn’t the whole story,  
Though every word  
Feels true.

It’s the story 
You have so far
That's all,  
Stitched out of memory
And longing,  
From the ache
Of what was  
and the hope of
What might be.




But maybe—  
just maybe—  
the world is wider  
than fears can allow,  
and the shadows about  
are thinner than they seem.

Maybe hope  
is hiding in the margins,  
waiting for you  
to turn the page.

Maybe the truth  
is softer,  
more forgiving,  
and the ending  
isn’t written yet.

Let’s keep writing  
you and I  
line by line,  
finding the light  
in the spaces between  
what we know  
and what could be.

A kind word is 
like a Spring day.
         Proverb


Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia
