[ BACK TO MAIN GALLERY ] Hawai`i her spirit summons me the goddess the essence of a far away land across a vast ocean across a continent she beckons me i can hear her i can feel her i desire her for when i first touched her i felt her rush the energy... the spirit... the mana... the sensation... was everywhere the islands...they are alive lava... her blood coursing through my veins overwhelming my senses flowing through my body like the force like the passion like the fervor that enraptures... two lovers in the night i step back i see i feel i experience i live Makapu'u your brethren surround you the Koolau... towering over me engulfing my vision enchanting my mind your waters... vivid blue and white fearsome with power i desire you i hesitate to touch you but you call me onto you i step into you... the warmth... it nurtures me the intensity... it humbles me the climax... it encircles me your spirit... it flows through me i am alive Waianae scars of a violent and volcanic past now lush with green the clouds embrace you rain sunlight flora a thousand shades of gray and green individual intermingle layers of light become one your immensity... it fills me your complexity stimulates me your beauty... it inspires me so... i now gaze onto you a lover... that i have never known. now the present i sit thousands of miles away i can hear her voice her spirit within me she summons me back for i have experienced... so little seen... nothing... but one single grain of her sand.
