Koki Horizon

Scattered nuances of a sunlit horizon

Iwa birds circling above in a dance made for rain

'Opihi wait by the shore, another day to ponder life

Waves softly caressing against the tall black surface

Falling gently, falling gently. 

As early morning sonnets fill the air

Clouds drift above in the clear blue sky

Gathering in the mountains to determine the day

Will it rain? Oh will it rain?

Gem

 Scent of lavender

Crown of gold

Centuries of silence

Stories untold.

Adorning the canvas

Colors that blend

Sparkles keep shining

Chapters begin and end.

Redemption

As the summer breeze flows through the trees

Birds chatter in a distance humming a symphony

The soft midmorning sun blesses her cheeks

While she toils in the garden happily.

A new dawn has come to brighten the life

Of a woman who once was burdened with strife

Refreshed from a past so filled with pain

Redemption of a soul once left out in the rain.

Friends are far and few in between

People tell stories but don't know what it means

Those people have become former adversaries

Because they no longer hold power over she.
