Mahalo

Blue and red lights
trace the beginning
of the long journey home.
And as I look out the window,
the shrinking city lights
wink knowingly at me.
I smile.
And the islands
open up their palms
and wave farewell to me,
as they slowly fade
and we become one with the sky.
I take so much with me,
yet leave no empty void
behind.
Peacefulness slips
gently into my heart
and the world becomes clear.
My soul sleeps softly now
having witnessed Eden's beauty
and knowing it survived
my ancestors' neglect.
I rest.
In my new dreams
Hawaiian seas caress
my cold skin and warm me,
enveloping my mind
in loving beams of creation--
calming my anxious brain.
I whisper to the winds
"Thank you."
