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
