Maui 2023

Beauty erased.
History lost.
Paradise no more.
Colors erased by a Curtain of Devastation.

What has been built was torn down
Ashes as far as the Eye could see.
What used to be Pictures in Fiction
Becomes Sights in Reality

Ifrit may have passed but its mark remains
And Nightmares continue
As Tears roll the World over
And what beats Love falls to Pieces.

What vanishes cannot come back
But what falls stand back up
Pieces will be glued back together
And Gray will be Colored anew

For the Land and its People are a Phoenix
With Strength to make a Folk Hero proud
For they are His namesake.
They are Maui Strong
