Off the Hawaiian window, the Pacific azure

this area of my birth allured

Villagers fish and hunt

Sleeping Giants, sand castles lured

As I dream of times no so shunt

There! dancing and frolic

Go the children with flowing play

Music in the air so beautiful the scene

Mothers kneeling with care

I am young again, no idea of time

no worries, cares, no even a dime

My sister sits so pretty with dark eyes

I’m about to born with no disguises

Dad smoking again as he finds

His tools once more, he’s so kind

Then there’s Mom, all dressed and pretty

She never changes, me, a boy so silly

She’s cooking again for five

How she did it I’d never know why

You’re so pretty Mom, I want to hold you now

I’m sorry for not telling you how

much I do love you

My brothers, devils they are

plotting, planning, and doing, stars

Now I know why I have so many scars

We are together but so far apart

Hawaiian dreams and journeys from the start

The air is so fresh

tradewinds touch the flesh

Sweet breaths of mankind

Syrupy Hawaiian music fills, melodies one of a kind

Flocks of birds danced and pranced

Waked up! Move out!

I’m rolled up now in sleeping bag

trapped in a war so far away from birth

Only memories of soft sheets and laughter

the day is a mirror now

sullen birthright splashed...
