Lanikai

Under lavender skies
We walk twilit dunes;
Made by wading tides
As we sang our tune.

Tradewinds would blow 
On our usual course.
Making kayakers row
With much strength and force. 

The air seasoned with salt
Making the moment serene. 
There’s nothing to fault
In this passing scene. 

Heavenly sea allures
Happiness from our core.
But will our happiness endure
Once we leave this lovely shore?

I enjoyed this Theodore. What would our islands be without the blessed trades? Lanikai...heavenly sea...it is one of our most beautiful beaches, if not thee best! This poem surrenders its beauty and romance so lovely! A warm welcome to Poetry Soup. So nice to meet you through your poetry. Aloha, Connie : )
