Kilua Morning.

The symphony of the Kilua morning

Strikes up, when sun’s celestial journey

 brings the dawn light to the heights of Moana Kia.

Mynah birds begin the symphony

With shrill, three tone notes.

Upon their cue, a multitude of Hawaiian pigeons

Fill the air with monotone cooing.

The rhythm is the waves crashing ashore

with the slow beat’s of percussion.

Trees add their soft tones of foliage gently

Played by the whispering trade winds.

Plumeria and tulip trees are joined

by palms and banyans.

A host of multi-coloured flowers

Listen to the sounds with receptive petals.

This is the symphony of a Kilua morning.
