Upon The Lava's Flow (Hawaiian Islands) Many years ago, an eruption of volcanic lava flowed from the depths of the ocean below. Layer built upon layer where the hot lava poured, in a thousand years a chain of islands was formed upon the Pacific ocean floor. The islands cooled and when ocean adventurers journeyed to its shores, they named this place the Hawaiian islands, a place they grew to love and adore. In lush green valleys the flora and fiona soaked up the cool morning dew. On well worn mountain trails, the islanders enjoyed the panoramic views. From majestic mountain peaks, to hills and meadows below, new generations enjoy the beauty formed upon the lava's flow. JamesLee August09 2004 |

Thank you iliana and passing shadows for the lovely responses... Passing Shadows there is more to life than women, like the sun and the moon and the stars and the air we breath and the food we eat and the water and beer we drink and the land we live on...but then we come to the inhabitants of the land...of which at least fifty percent are women...how could I not notice their beauty and their grace and their softness and their silkiness..remember that God didn't want man to be lonely...James |
