What I Like About the Big island

[kani-lehua]

aia i ka uka 'iu
'ohi'a uliuli ka ua kanilehua la e
lehua 'ula i kanahele lae
ku mai 'o maunaloa me kona hanohano
me ka pa o kehau
"ku'u pu'uwai a me ke aloha e lalau a'e i ka ma'ama'ama
me ka mehana o ke ao akea
i ka mahie me ka uluwehiwehi"
he pua mae 'ole 'ia e ka la
a me ka lehua 'ula ku makani

there in the high country
'ohia fruits ripen from the kanilehua rain
red lehua throughout the forest
maunaloa appears in all her majesty
with the breeze of the kehau
"my heart and my love reachout for the brightness and the light
here in the warmth of the great wide world
amid the splendor and the lush beauty"
a blossom that won't be wilted by the sun
and the red lehua stands in the wind

first 5 lines are mine.
the next three are quoted, but i have forgotten the author
the last two lines are mine.

"chaos reigns within.
reflect, repent and reboot.
order shall return."
