Shishir 2023 Poems - Robert Beckvall
A Miracle of A Mornin’ (at Ala Moana Park)
By Robert Beckvall
Big rooster standing on a bigger volcano rock, crowing to the the sun and hens
HPU track team practicing high knees
Stand up paddlers, surfers, kayakers-hit the sea salt waves
Palms, pink and orange clouds, a green parrot
Joggers are jogging, dogs are dogging, mynahs squawk or talk
Yes, I know Maui is suffering, as are our tented brothers and sisters
But, by God and the ancient navigated by the stars seas, it is a miracle morning
AMEN
LM 8-23
