seas engulf coastlines
salt decimates fertile soils~
farmers to fishers...

on rocky coastlines
stand historic lighthouses
beacons of safety

protectors of ships
their lights shine far out to sea
upon granite shores

keeping watch each night
sentinels stand on duty
making safe the way

The change has been painful 
Grief broke my bones and turned my blood into sand
Life is a current ever flowing
Oceans wash away memories like coastlines

Maunakea comes

Until my limbs twirl unceasingly
For an endless tempo
 of wild  bohemian dance.

Like chants of untamed prayer
welcoming eve's thrill almost sublime.
