A L O H A
From
Honolulu
Twins
At this hour
the sky leans down—
looking to remember.
Water holds it,
as it always does
kissing
this other self.
Between them,
a private vow—
two yet
never separate.
Dusk (or dawn?)
they let themselves blur,
one into the other
forever and an age.
Here as witness
we too are doubled—
watching
and being watched.
Admiring ourselves.
Cloudia Charters
A wise one
changes their mind,
a fool never will.
Spanish Proverb
Hula is the heartbeat
of the Hawaiian People.
Only a person who
has passed through
the gate of humility
can ascend to the
heights of the spirit.
Sitting silently,
doing nothing,
the spring comes and
the grass grows by itself.
