On the Shores
of Waikiki

As I pause on the shores of Waikiki
I feel the trade winds gently caressing me.
On the bench to my side six young Japanese women
are busy smiling and laughing as they dress a
baby sister in Hawaiian beach wear.
They are having a fabulous time
and none seem to have a care.
As I turn from them and begin to enjoy the
rhythm of the waves a silence feels the air.
I look again and the women are holding hands
with their heads bowed silently in prayer.
In the background a local
begins to play his ukulele.
The moon shines a little brighter
and pauses to wink at me.
Tonight life is beautiful
on the shores of Waikiki.
