The Tortoise Who Taught Us


Aloha poets,
                      Tortoise has been given a nice lettuce lunch and
continues to look for something good. Enjoy!

Islands of 'Imi ola


Direct your attention now to that with you value the most
Involvement must occur even before your morning toast
Open your heart then eyes at first morning light
Let islands of 'imi ola chase away the night


First waking moment is your point of attack
Useless expectation gets sent to the back
Invaders may enter with hugs of achievement
Islands of 'imi ola, your evader of bereavement


Islands of 'imi ola make your tomorrow golden
You color them blue then green to embolden
Add to the heart of day's best part without race
Islands of 'imi ola is the smile on your future's face


Stays in the present not the purgatory of worry
Draws a criminal probe on those who hurry
A leap of faith or so you say?
It's your islands of 'imi ola that brighten your day


Expectation can be a raw double-edged sword
A partisan believer in the business of hoard
Views from your perch may keep you in the fight
Let islands of 'imi ola shake off the night
