  • Best friend and lover

    We spend time together Counting the stars Watching the constellations in the sky We lay together on a bed of grass One with nature and the universe This time we share together I want it to last forever I want to hear and feel you breathe Because then I know you are close to me…

  • Po’ouli

    Po’ouli

    Extinction came knocking For the po’ouli the black crested honeycreeper bird It is not the first and won’t be the last Victims of man and earth changing ways Makes natures balance start slipping away But as sure as the po’ouli has become extinct Man should take notice because for us it’s closer than we think…

  • Nomad on the waves

    Nomad on the waves

    The spume from the waves dampen my face As I sit on the rocks dreaming of being far away The ocean with it power and incessant roar Reminds that in life there is more. I dream of sailing the waves for forever and a day Guided by nothing but the stars Sailing to destinations hitherto…
