Brave


  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

The moon stays bright
when it doesn't
avoid the night.
Rumi



Night under palms—
on the sidewalk
beside the beach,
tourist holds her pose.


Passing man looks.
Beyond them both,

the sea
keeps its own ideals.

Pixie



Chrysanthemums

As you grow, do not forget

the chrysanthemum within you—

its roots still need water,

its leaves still need light,

and its blossoming still depends

on the tender care

you are willing

to give yourself.



Please never forget
How brave it is, 
To hope and dream 
Amidst the uncertainty.
      Liz Newman

How brave it truly is to dream amidst uncertainty...🧡
