Neon At Dusk


     A  L  O  H  A 

From
Honolulu

It's important to
surround yourself
with good people,
interesting people,
young people, young ideas.
Go places, learn new stuff.
Look at the world with wonder -
don't be tired about it.
Angela Bassett



The sign hums softly
above the fading street,
a happy electric heart
that ever so brightly beats.

And all at once
evening is not empty
but lit with longing,
and seemingly friendly.

The most valuable possession you can own is an open heart. The most powerful weapon you can be is an instrument of peace. Carlos Santana ᬔᬔᬔᬔᬔᬔᬔᬔᬔ
Love You, Cloudia & Pixie




Here’s to the vulture,
unloved at first view—
still worthy of friendship,
and maybe love too.

Wind holds their secrets,
sun warms their wings,
they cherish all manner
of unlovely things.


But if you should see them
in twilight above,
remember: 
even vultures
are worthy of love.
Pixie

Pixie, your poem is a lovely reminder that beauty and worth are not always found where we first expect them, and that every creature has its own quiet grace if we take the time to look.

The glowing sky shots are gorgeous. Guru Pixie is challenging us to open our hearts, even to the vultures among us.

..."The sign hums softly above the fading street, a happy electric heart that ever so brightly beats," keep humming and beating brightly.
