-a Paradise Called Hawaii- Poem by Maylene Galang

Oh Hawaii…
Thy beauty is a pleasure to my eyes; thy breeze is a gentle whisper to my ears.
Amazing sights ye truly behold; astounding sounds ye nobly create.
Lovely are thy landscapes; captivating are thy sceneries.
Thy entirety is inherently sublime, inspiring every human’s naked senses;
So divine and heavenly, so majestic and magnificent.

Oh Hawaii…
Thy richness is abundant, so gracious to admire and adore.
Thy image is a memory, so precious to cherish and embrace.
Ye take my breath away; ye hold me with kindling awe.
Aroused with joy and glee; enlivened with ecstasy and amusement.
So powerful and invincible, so dominant and compelling.

Oh Hawaii…
Thou truly art an abode of happiness and delight, of grace and harmony;
Filling the air with magic of love; sparks of excitement; and thrills of adventure.
Enchantment mysteriously spells and raptures each moment;
With every sweet romance that brightens, touches, and softens the hearts;
So soothing and gentle, so warm and tender.

Oh Hawaii…
Thou art is a paradise, mythical to my perception.
Every part of thy nature brings delight, comfort, and indulgence.
Glorious and illustrious, imposing thy grandeur everywhere.
Standing out splendidly with grace, fame, and splendor;
A paradise thou art called…a haven of love, joy, beauty, and fulfillment.
