Timing Is Everything

Published on by Hawaii Nature LoveLeave a comment

With a rainbow in the sky

and the brightness of light

when our eyes first met

it just wasn’t right

Everything seemed good

as perfect as can be

the problem was never you

it was always just me

My lifeless eyes blinded

by past fears and insecurities

never allowing love in fully

as it was intended to be

For the very thing longed prayed for

was the one I couldn’t see

distracted by many dim lights

but the brightest not worthy of me

So everyday I entreat

that blind eyes begin to see

the beautiful truth I pushed away

that was always destined for me

I begin to hope in second chances

that grace will be kind and agree

the good that came into my life

was a missed opportunity

So here I am

doing the innerwork

to set my mind free

self-sabotage is real

it was never about you

it was always just me

You….you are a blessing

Conversation with the Moon

When I look upon the heavenlies
A sphere of radiant light
Splitting open the evening sky
An illumination so bright

In latin it’s name is “Luna”
In greek they say “Selene”
This time I’ve had
conversing with the moon
Revealing secrets unseen

New hopes & past disappointments
Dreams that reach sky high
Whispers of things that no one else hears
Just between the moon and I

For that orb of night
Shares a glimmer of light
For anyone who draws near thy
As twilight falls
Watching over thee
Goodnight…sweet lullaby!

Crossroads

Published on by Hawaii Nature LoveLeave a comment

I arrived at a crossroad

where two paths diverge

one to the right and one to the left

never meant to converge

I’m blinded in seeking

which direction to choose

Do I use mind over heart?

the latter is justly pursued

So I take two steps forward

then one step back

finding freedom in movement

getting life back on track

Because what I thought was the end

has only just begun

new beginnings are waiting for me

this test in life I won

Sage

Ancient of days

what would you say

to the one who has passed you

along the way

Do you have tales

on men of old

who have traveled your path

as history unfolds

Have you seen war

tribulation and love

the chronicles of humanity

in the makings of

Memories as you’ve witnessed

the worse and best of mankind

recorded in the annuals of nature

and preserved throughout all time

The Gift

Beyond that great horizon

that separates earth from sky

lies the Sun in all it’s brilliance

as Cumulus floats on by

A luminous orb of light

Helios wildly shines

rays like chariots of fire

piercing quick and divine

and then the Sol meets it’s equal

standing at Neptunes door

where once it’s light was blinding

come softly near the shore

Caramel Skies

Published on by Hawaii Nature Love2 Comments

As I gaze upon caramel skies

with strands of gold and blue

dancing upon the ocean waves

a secret rendezvous

Both hand in hand

warmth and peace

a pair that’s tried and true

pirouetting across glassy waves

preparing for the new

starry night in all it’s glory

where wishes and dreams come true

caramel skies at it’s finale

another fine debut

Reflection 2019

Published on by Hawaii Nature Love4 Comments

Looking into reflective waters

another year comes to an end

like a sunrise and a sunset

time continuously transcends

The rising of the morning sun

when things are so brand new

beginning a fresh journey in life

with lots of hope coming through

And as time moves on

like ripples of water

quickly flowing downstream

the good, the bad, and the ugly

fills the dash of life inbetween

And just like a runner in a race

who sees the finish up ahead

when there’s too much distance

one never looks back

but pushes forward instead

then sunset appears with bursting colors

just around the bend

it’s time for a new start in life

the old must come to an end

For life can be just like a race

always a choice to ascend

it doesn’t matter how one starts the year

but it matters how you end

Dear Friend

In this journey of life

there are many faces

that will cross your path

in different places

of stages in life

some stay and some go

you can count on one hand

those who remain know

to hold someones heart

is a privilege from above

not to be trampled

but protected in love

when you’re happy, they’re happy

and when you hurt, they hurt

a genuine friend dirties their hands

in all of your messiness overt

whether it’s friendship or infatuation

always choose the first

but to have friendship and love

a true bond unrehearsed
