Hawaiian Beauties

©mltainolegends

Before Christmas
unexpectedly came into my life
an array of exotic...beautiful...
flowers and foliage from an isle of Hawaii...
place which draws me
more than any other
to come...see her...
black sands...black pearls...
and volcanoes...ancient sleepers...
waiting patiently...to erupt...

Beautiful blooms...hues of green...
cut from life
for the journey
to radiate
a tropical land's warmth
many miles
through the grasp
of a winter land's cold...
to a grateful stranger...

Paradise's delicate birds...
purple plummage regal atop orange...
pink and flaming...heliconia...ginger...sprays of orchid...
framed by mostera...green ti...hala and bamboo
feast my senses with
brilliant bursts of colour...
scents...sweet...sensual...and calming....
creation's ever present beauty.....
.....amidst us.................
