Unforgettable Paradise
Life is so different in the islands
Slow moving beauty beyond just the earth
Wailing waves climb like a roller coaster, pleading for surfers
On the North Shore, time is irrelevant
Love is easy on Turtle Bay…Now that he is gone
My heart feels a quick stab and I remember all
We sat together on the beach, thinking perfection
Sighing as I reminiscence, I long for the cool, ocean wind
Nothing compares with the enormity of the whale
Its splendorous magnificence weaves through my memory
The humpback propels its body out of the water—words fail
Tears stream and we kiss, feeling complete
Holding hands beach walking at sunset
A green sea turtle disturbs the panorama
Slowly returning to the sea after laying her eggs
Red, yellow, blue fish nibble on my toes---
Dolphins playfully nudge our boat
Pleading for attention—I touch its nose
It swims backwards making squeaking noises
I want to plunge and whirl with them.
Vividly, I remember standing on Waikiki
The vista of the infamous Diamond Head,
Its pointy peak formed by volcanic tuff
Climbing to its summit, God’s precision fulfills
Loving, walking, sharing—this day was our beginning
He stoops, picks a red flower, placing in my hair
Love blooms and I never want to leave paradise.
A beautiful woman places a lei over my head--nirvana
