The trade winds whispered in my ear
Let go, come, and fly with me, my dear
The ocean beckons, the air is warm
With sunshine gently kissing my arm
I hesitantly surrender, finally just let go
Feels so good, from head to toe
All worldly troubles are left behind
Now there is only me and my mind
The trade winds carry me aloft, far away
To a world full of peace, colorful and gay
Gazing at the ocean so calm and blue
I am disembodied from the world I knew
At last there is nothing for me to worry about
Even physical limitations have no more clout
Nothing at all will ever intrude into my space
Floating in this perfectly serene and happy place
Everyday concerns and problems can now wait
Even death does not carry any weight
Seeing a rainbow from far above
Fills the heart with wonder and love
I want to remain forever in this joyful state
Without prejudice, terror, war or hate
This vivacious place, my very own creation
Entered through the door of my imagination

- Comment from author about the poem: The usual weather pattern in Hawaii includes the trade winds, winds flowing from east to west. They are great, not too strong, but keeping the island cool.

I ditto Santita's comments - a great piece.
Your comment means a lot to me, Michael. Mahalo!
Up up and away i was taken, cool breeze in my hair. Lovely.
Thank you so much da! Today we could have used a cool breeze here. It was muggy as heck!
Beautiful write, my imagination has also taken me there.
Goldfinch, this is the beautiful part of being a poet. We can travel where nobody else can!
Made me long for the days of my youth when the road was my home. Thanks for the tears of joy long forgotten.
Thank you so much, Mugsdaddy!
I was floating in the trade winds, you were on the road, somebody else was I don't know where. That is the beauty of imagination!
Here it comes. Surrender yourself to Hawaii beach, full relaxation by the calm and blue ocean.
I can hear the whisper of the trade wind.
So peaceful, so relaxing. Oh, Hawaii beach, my dream vacation destination.
Thank you M&M! Your picture shows ocean and sailboats, so you have it all too!
Yes. I do.
I guess the two of us are the lucky ones then!
We sure are.
This is so light and relaxing. I love your serene imaginative place Fred. It there where I go to cool down. Very hot and muggy here too. Dark and scary. Hurricane season is always ugly.
Thank you Malu for your nice comment. Sometimes we need to take some time off from our everyday pressures, even if it is only in our mind.
So far so GREAT! Loving your poems!
Thank you a-pott, you are making an old man proud! And btw, flattery will get you anywhere!
