Paradise Island

PARADISE ISLANDS

                                           At the end of a double rainbow ~ golden sands ~

                                     Hawaiian sands ~ beside ~ azure waters

                                My plaited lei roars ~ toward ~

                          ~ Lover’s footprints ~ on sandy shore

                       Waikiki my ~ happily ever after ~ dream

                  ~ Haku mele ~ strums upon ukulele

              Coconut tans and bare feet ~ embrace ~

         Oahu ~ the gathering place ~ sunrise to sunset
