Whispers Of The Moon (Peace Lilies)

A L O H A From

H O N O L U L U

Cover me
With the red sky tonight
The promise of a
better day to come
Sing over me
An angelic symphony
Tell me everything
will be alright
With the red sky tonight.
Brandon Heath

Old cars are not

just metal and paint,

they're time machines

that hold the

stories of our past.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Here in muted morning light,
Peace lilies bloom
Crispy and white.
Little moons afloat
On seas of green,
Their quiet glow
A tranquil scene.

Green leaves
Are waves in shadows play,
Inviting hope
To breathe upon the day.
Each petal embodies
Calm quite near,
Pleas for peace
May all of us hear!

Beneath the trees
They spritely sway,
Guardians of a softer way.
This field of moons
Serene and bright,
Inviting us to view the world
In their own
More tender light.

We are all strangers

in a strange land,

longing for home, but

not quite knowing what

or where home is.

We glimpse it sometimes

in our dreams, or as

we turn a corner, and

suddenly there is a strange,

sweet familiarity that vanishes

almost as soon as it comes.

Grab All The Grounded You Can

A L O H A From
H O N O L U L U

Old age, believe me, is

a good and pleasant thing.

It is true you are gently

shouldered off the stage,

but then you are given

such a comfortable front stall

as spectator.

Confucius

When one with honeyed words

but evil mind

Persuades the mob,

great woes befall the state.

Euripides, Orestes

They were all dressed

in their finest

as though life really were

some magical stage play

in which every moment

ought to be illuminated

with its own bright spotlight.

Anna Godbersen

The world is a stage,

but the play

is badly cast.

Oscar Wilde

Beneath the moon’s

Soft silver gleam,

The world dissolves

Into a dream.

Petals close

Stars take flight,

Healing pervades

This quiet night.

A breath, a sigh

In stillness deep,

My soul surrenders

Gladly to sleep.

Where rivers glow

My memories play,

With dreams of tomorrow

As I drift away.

Piece Bit

A L O H A From

H O N O L U L U

Our days are happier
when we give people
a bit of our heart rather
than a piece of our mind.
Ritu Ghatourney

Because if everything

were explained,

there would be nothing

left to figure out.

Brianna Wiest

The child has a different

relationship with his

environment than we do.

The child absorbs what

is happening around him.

The things he sees

he doesn't just remember,

they form part of his soul.

Maria Montessori

An animal's eyes

have the power to speak

a great language.

Shine Three

A L O H A From

H O N O L U L U

Follow your bliss

and the universe

will open doors

for you where there

were only walls.

Joseph Campbell

3 Ages, Three Stages

Girl

The morning dew,

Soft and bright,

A butterfly dances

In golden light.

Laughter spills

Like a bubbling stream,

Life unfolds as

A waking dream.

Woman

Midday sun,

Steady and strong,

Paths Multiply,

Some short, some long.

Mountains rise

Rivers wind,

Learning truths

Both harsh and kind.

Wise Elder

Early evening moon,

Serene and near,

Whispers of wisdom

Lingering clear.

Leaves fall gently

at twilight’s glow,

In quiet peace

Let the seasons flow.

Like the lotus rising

From mud to me

Each stage blooms

In its own beauty.

Other people look small

and inconsequential when

your focus is all on yourself. Cloudia Charters
