I had the pleasure of living on Oahu for 3 years.

a lei warmly undulates in the harbor, scented blossoms in the surf, welcoming each voyager with frangipani, plumeria, shells and haku mele. the ukulele and current gently pulls with mellifluous undertow. a garland aloha and hula hips enhance each Polynesian hug in passionate sunrise and sunset hues. 8/7/2018 haku mele — weaving a poetic text, chant, or song

I do not need Hawaii now, Kim because you just took me there in a lovely way too.
