Whispers of Aloha: My Forever Love

May 5, 2024

In the heart of the vast, azure sea,
Lies Hawaii, where spirits fly free.
A land where the universe spills its grace,
On shores where time slows its pace.

Here, the sun kisses the rolling waves,
Cradling beaches in golden enclaves.
Palm trees sway with a serene ballet,
Under skies where rainbows stay.

Volcanic peaks dressed in emerald robes,
Guard ancient secrets, the stories they hold.
Majestic in silence, they rise with pride,
Carving the land where gods reside.

The air carries the scent of plumeria blooms,
A fragrant whisper of nature’s perfumes.
Night falls, and the luau flames dance,
Igniting the stories left to chance.

In each grain of sand, a tale of the past,
Of cultures rich, meant to last.
The aloha spirit flows deep and wide,
In hearts of the people, it does reside.

I walk these lands, a humble guest,
Feeling the heartbeat within its breast.
Hawaii, oh Hawaii, you’ve taught me to see,
That nothing man-made rivals your beauty.

A gift from the cosmos, so vividly cast,
A paradise sculpted, timelessly vast.
In your embrace, I find my peace,
In your beauty, my soul’s release.
