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.
