Watching the Sunset In Maui

Pictures shared over the airwaves Palm trees giving ever so gently To tropical breezes are captured As our forever moment in time. With each sunrise comes the Rich greens, soothingly calming blues And gently comforting whites. A breathtaking scenery of a canvas Of unimaginable creation. With each setting sun comes Enriched hues of the primaries. Blended reds, oranges, Yellows and blues create stunning Mixtures of color in and about the Horizon slowly overtaking daylight Seemingly setting the clouds ablaze. The ocean mimics with darker tones As the sky slowly closes its eye upon Us holding our hearts just a bit longer. Daily repetition allows us to Visualize its blessing in the Hopes of acceptance and Appreciation of what we have, Are given and are given in return. Watching the sun set in Maui Would be an unforgettable experience But for now it remains as an Instant snapshot of time and place In present time zone’s past allowing Visions of an everlasting Memory bring a smile to my face And peace in my heart All in part due to the kindness of A dear friend and his giving soul. This in itself has been an Amazingly wonderful experience. Thank you for sharing with me This beautiful sunset in Maui. Thank you Jerry. 5/22/19

Such a beautiful, uplifting write, Juanita...all the more poignant given the trouble Mali's experiencing these days. Cheers, Gershon

Thank you again Mr. Lee. Unfortunately most folks may never get the opportunity to travel, much like myself. Gratefully, as you've read, I have a friend that does and every time he goes on vacation, he shares his pics with me. That within itself, is sufficient enough for me.

Hello Gershon! Sorry I'm just seeing your comment. You're very welcome. I've never been to Maui myself but my friend who took his family there for a vacation sent me some pictures and they are stunning! He sent me bot day and night pics. Hence the title. He's also the inspiration behind my piece entitled California Sunrise. Thanks for your kind words and thanks for reading! Blessings.
