Droplets

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu!

Water   Droplets

" Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again "

                                              John Claude Gummoe

"The Cascades"

Water   Droplets

" The raindrops, so many raindrops

It feels like rai-aindrops

Falling from my eye-eyes

Falling from my eyes "

                                                       Dee Clark

" Now the only girl I've ever loved has gone away

Looking for a brand new start

Little does she know that when she left that day

Along with her she took my heart "

                                      John Claude Gummoe

" Rain please tell me 

now does that seem fair

For her to steal 

my heart away 

when she don't care

I can't love another 

when my heart's 

somewhere far away "

            John Claude Gummoe

Sometimes

Life's winds

drive me hard;

[ How about you? ]

0ther times,

I meander

like a raindrop

on a window 

pane.

[ Know what I Mean? ]

Dancing on a breeze

shot through with

light-

look at us!

We're a rainbow

[ you and me ]

My days 

are dripping 

precious

from a source,

one-by-one -

Ceaseless,

but not

inexhaustible.

Wet.

Yes these are the days

that flow like wine

and cliche`

the days we share.

So thank you.

Thank You

for Dropping in-

Your Comments

are Refreshing!

A Buddhist Mission

A  L  O  H  A  from   Honolulu!

Every day, thousands 

of Honolulu drivers

pass by this sweet 

Buddhist Hongwanji

She is emblematic

speak of our immigrant

and plantation history,

Saturday Warhol Seeing

“ Most of the change 
we think we see in life
is due to truths 
being in and
out of favor. ”

Leaf   Or   Lord?

That feeling you get,

when looking at 

something familiar,

of seeing it 

for the first time, 

though you see it

every day is called 

jamais vu.
