Spirit of Island

Posted on at


Palm trees are swaying island style
Within the gentle trade wind's flow,
As Egrets glide on salty air
Then land where verdant grasses grow.


Breathe in sweet scents of tuberose
And let fine mist caress your face,
Dive deep into aqua waters
Become enchanted with this place.


Let your eyes consume the beauty,
Let rhythmic music soothe your mind.
You'll feel the aloha spirit
A kinder people you won't find.


Go hiking in hillside forests,
There are no bears or snakes that hide,
Just waterfalls you'll find waiting,
That flow toward the ocean side.


In the distance whales are breaching,
Humpbacks with little calves in tow.
They share waters with the dolphins,
And green sea turtles down below.


Can you hear paradise calling?
Whispering your name at sunrise,
To later bask on pearly sands.
Swaying hula hips at moonrise,


Coaxing you to join in the dance.
Exotic Mai Tai in your hands,
Sweet flower leis caress your neck,
Come investigate our islands,


And board on wild waves at surf side,
Cast your cold and cares to the breeze.
Sailing out on sunset cruises
Take homeward bound warm memories.
