Notes About The Poem

A Place of Timeless Harmony - a Tribute To Connie Marcum Wong

She rides on a sailing ship high in the skies
embracing creation of her wandering star 
cheerfully greeting her guests.
Some pleasant and chatty,
some on occasion she may ask,
            “Please don’t fall over me.”


Hawaii is where her heart lies;
and island of poetry that inspires her soul, 
of orange sunset against sublime radiant blue.

She strolls up and down the tan beach,
enjoying the feel of warm grains of sand between her toes,
breathing in the whole innocence of beauty
as tears of joy blend in with the cool briny sea.

A place of timeless harmony
her peace of heaven

Daniel Turner June 20, 2017 at 7:58 AM I wish I had known her while my son was stationed over there, I could have met her in person. She is one sweet soul:) A lovely tribute Mrs Eve but I also agree with Lin. You are also a very sweet and talented lady. Loved your tribute:) Eve Roper June 26, 2017 at 2:50 PM I have heard theif is a big issue just leaving the airport Daniel Turner June 20, 2017 at 12:57 PM Take my advice, if you go there, unless you like sitting in traffic take a cab or public transportation. They have a serious traffic problem:) Find a secluded beach, Waikiki is too busy:) and always keep an eye on your purse! Eve Roper June 20, 2017 at 12:14 PM She is a inspiring writer, Daniel. I have never been out of the states, but would love to go see the islands ~*
