Nani Na Pua:
ʻAuhea wale ana ʻoe
E ka pua o ka lokelani

Ma mua o ka nae ʻala

Where are you, fairest of all fair ones
Where are you sweetest of all sweets
You are a flower of Paradise
That the morning breeze ever kindly greets

Lovely Hawaiian orchids shimmer in the muted light of night as they await the breaking of a new day.

Both the painting and the poem are soooooooo beautiful. Gorgeous color on a wonderfully creative background. Loving this one, Jane! V/F

Oh, Douglas, Hawaiian song lyrics and poems are so lovely. The way they phrase passages and use metaphors throughout is just beautiful. The Hawaiian language just simply flows with lyrical rhythm. I think that's why I love the traditional (not touristy) music so very much and listen to it often. It's soft and gentle and seems to float on the sea breezes. Queen Lili'oukalani wrote some of the most special and they always had such deep meaning, Mahalo nui loa, my dear friend.
