Rare Things Carry Quiet Power


 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Walk on a rainbow trail; 
walk on a trail of song, 
and all about you
will be beauty.
 There is a way out
of every dark mist, 
over a rainbow trail.
Andra Davis



Moments for reflection
Seldom seen
deeply felt
Always memorable!




Under a blue moon,
the ordinary remembers
how to become magic.

Once in a blue moon
Wisdom arrives softly,
and just when needed.
Some truths
only reveal themselves
after plenty of silence.
Rare moments can teach
lasting lessons.
Not every night
needs a bright moon;
some nights need
a wise one.
When the moon rises,
pause and listen.
Finally, the heart
understands
what the mind has
been seeking.
Cloudia Charters



We all have two lives.
The second one starts
when we realize
we only have one.
Tom Hiddleston

The rare is 
not always distant; 
sometimes it is simply 
overlooked.

A blue moon does not change the sky for long, yet its quiet rarity reminds us that the deepest insights often arrive not in noise or haste, but in stillness and patience.

I’m humming the “Blue Moon” tune now. Pixie looks all fluffed up and perhaps settled on a brood of chicks!

...yes, remember how to become magic.

The words and the rainbows do it for me, Cloudia. ;-)

Love your poem and the pictures. Pixie is glorious, as usual, but that shot of the couple in the water and the one of the leaf are gorgeous, too.
