Drifting back home

Thoughts of “Bula” , “Namaste” and “Noaia”

coconut oil, coconut trees and cream

curry crab , lemon marinated fish,

laughter, grog, cheers of celebration,

coconut trees, sandy shores, smiles

ukelele, guitar strings

dreams

once were there

now a reality

of changes

stark misconceptions

twisted

dreams have struck

the islands of joy , once untouched

Daily struggles have enlarged

in the endless facades of life and

smiles.

Prepare your version of

reality in the untouched dream

of the isles.

Born and raised in Suva , Fiji. Love my island home where I lived for many years of my life and gained wisdom from the love and kinship of my family, friendships and the islands cultural treasures. A love that has been woven with its intricacies into the hearts of all who come from the isles of Fiji. ❤️
