Hina (Hawai'Ian Moon Goddess) Poem by John Bliven Morin

Hina (Hawai'Ian Moon Goddess)



The forest doves are quiet now;
Far down the hill, a dog barks in the darkness,
And the long dark forms of mountain-pigs
Pass through the tall Ti plants in the stillness.

She sings to me a siren's song
Far older than these wooded hills.
I step outside the isolation of my tent;
Enveloped in her translucent arms,
My senses are unbound.

The sun is harsh and hot, O Hina,
But you are peace.
