A L O H A
From
Honolulu
Ordinarily Unique
Where the ocean
meets the sky,
ordinary days
become sacred.
Sunset is a
quiet reminder
that letting go
can be beautiful.
Waves keep moving
colors keep changing;
the moment asks only
to be felt.
Pixie & Cloudia
Street life at night
tourist town in
matching aloha wear,
perfume drifts
through warm air
with garlic, grilled fish,
sweet pineapple.
First-day excitement,
last-day longing—
every evening
a new crowd,
each face passing:
waves lapping the shore
Vacation glows
under storefront lights,
and the night tastes
like somewhere you
will long remember.
Cloudia Charters
A half moon rises
through island mist;
my heart is full.
If you spend time
with animals,
you run the risk of
becoming a better person
Oscar Wilde

Love You,
Cloudia & Pixie

...I always laugh when I see a family dressed alike.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I read your blog, Cloudia, I feel like I've become a better person. Thank you for blessing me so!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this beautiful comment which means so much to me God bless you, Martha!
DeleteWonderful words, Cloudia. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in Hawaii I was amazed at how many families had the same pattern on their clothes.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, oh that moon feels like I could reach up and touch it!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, Cloudia, I love the poems and quotes.
ReplyDeleteTake care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
I think the matching clothing, like a family reunion, keeps the visitors from losing each other! Sacred sunset sinking into the waves with nothing in the way is my favorite Hawaiian view. Sigh! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! Sending love to you and Pixie!
ReplyDeleteI like the matching clothes on that family - maybe it makes for easier repairs if anybody gets a hole!!
ReplyDeleteCheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
Gorgeous photos. I'm not sure if Pixie looks surprised about the family in matching clothes or the guy drinking on the job.
ReplyDeleteThe family that was wearing the same clothes caught my eye. That photo was a big hit. And I love the quote about spending time with animals is so true. Thanks for also sharing the man's drink with us for T this Tuesday, Cloudia and Pixie.
ReplyDeleteGive Pixie a hug and happy T day.
ReplyDeleteYour poetry is so beautiful! Magical photos! I love them. Have a lovely Tuesday! Many blessings!
ReplyDeleteMe encantan las imágenes. Saludos desde España
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photography, beautiful quotes and beautiful Pixie.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Awww Monday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous day and week. Scritches to Pixie. ♥
Cute! We used to dress our girls in matching outfits when they were little, but we never had family matching outfits. Aloha via T is for Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteSeeing a family, all dressed alike, would make me smile.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos.
What's happening with Pixie? A surprised look.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
I absolutely love street life in Hawaii. Anyway, the times I have been there. Have a nice day today.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words and imagery. And of course, beautiful Pixie. Happy T Day
