Echoes of Aloha: A Timeless Bond

May 8, 2024

In the heart of the vast, blue expanse,
Hawaii whispers, a serene romance.
Islands cradle my weary bones,
Healing wounds with their gentle tones.

Here, the earth grounds my floating dreams,
In verdant valleys and sunlit streams.
Material chains, loosely shed,
As sandy shores make up my bed.

The ocean calls, its waves embrace,
A soothing touch, a soulful grace.
With every tide that meets the land,
I find peace within the sand.

Above, the rainbows arc in splendid hues,
A spectrum of hope, a spectrum of clues.
They bridge the skies with colors bold,
In their arcs, my dreams unfold.

This is home, where my spirit flies,
Underneath these wide-open skies.
In the pulse of the surf, in the wind’s soft croon,
Hawaii, to my soul, is a perennial boon.

Here, in the heart of the deep blue sea,
I am whole, I am free, I am meant to be.
It’s home, it’s the core of all I hold dear,
In its embrace, I have nothing to fear.
