Nohoikawai

I kept asking

Time after time

He only said 

Nohoikawai

I wanted to know if it all was true

He didn't answer a thing, but said I knew

I knew nothing, or that I thought

He wagered the proposal that I sought

When the time was ready

All matters were through

He turned and said I always knew

No justification

No rhythm

No rhyme

No clue

Just a message so clear

And I never knew

Such was the reason

That it went through

Nohoikawai I know

Now that it was you

Remember the time

He said not why

His only answer

Was Nohoikawai

Never ask questions

Follow your dream

In the end, you will

Know what it all means.

Nohoikawai

Promised and true

Phase one complete

Moving onto phase two

Four more days and

Seven wild nights

Consider mahina

Nohoikawai heights

She'll give the answer

When the time is right

Nohoikawai never

My guardian light.
