William Kelii Kekaula Poet Sonnet

Listen to poem:

A Clarification

*AUDIO, plus a, Video of A Clarification by YouTube.

"Let us shine and not burn," by Elle Casey

A Clarification

Conceived onsets by one's subjective state,
Clueless inceptions nebulously grow,
A mindless blind mute moves, rousing its fate,
Godsend occasion leaves the dark to glow.

Sparks the light of life mimic frames of minds,
Intricacies of distinctions arcane,
Emotions indulge past regret unwinds,
Scattered, detached, night candle burns the stain.

Shatter separateness as divisive,
Conceived borders we being inherits,
Emphases realized as decisive,
Everyone shares their respective merits.

Douse not our embers, but keep strong our flame,
Warm the blaze to a glow from whence we came.

The locals are filling up the emptied added flights flown here, and flying anywhere away from their island home. Anyhow, thanks a bunch my friend, Aloha William
