Lana'i

yet another island
yet another mountain
harbors and beaches
villages and cities

stars in the beautiful night
rocks and plants
why do they stir my soul
sleep well, enjoy the day

fearlessly

shipwreck beach
kaunolu village
manele bay
garden of the gods

munro trail
where some natives live
with no help from me
beautiful uluhe lau nui

ohe mauka in the fog
kopiko not like i know
who is doing my job
and thank you for them

one breath at a time

the sun sets
the moon rises
the deer jump
nothing happens on lana'i

'ilima grows
a'ali'i fruits
i learn olopua
an old man cares

people live here
gentle hearts
sweet smiles
only one place

so many people in love with the world
is the world in love with us?
