Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

The Lava Flows

The Lava Flows

The lava flows of Hawaii,
Fresh surrounds of a coral sea,
A fern forest midst rising mist,
Place where orchids and sweethearts tryst,
Tempestuous flames apogee.

Entertaining birds are carefree,
Verdant vales, mountain trails, sightsee,
Paradise echoes beauty's gist,
The lava flows.

People observe Queen's Jubilee,
As a Sun shines in Gemini,
Natural forces do persist,
Beauty endures as we exist,
Unmistakably we foresee,
The lava flows.
