By My Mother and Father’s Hard Working
Hands
I breathe you in ho’ho’nu, blissful, by the fragrance of the flowers as mahana, the warm rain, kisses my skin. Open eyes, lush, like the land. Sweet blessing immeasurable; Oh praise this green and fertile place!
Listen to the pa’u; It’s heartbeat awakens the earth. I feel my okole swaying like the vines of the banyon tree. Feet treading the dirt, I hold my kala’aus like the women of this tribe. My kupuna; she guides me along like the stars of the hokulea. Her chants are strong. Every word longing to carry forward. I pray they see the love I hold, for this dance makes my spirit fly.
Puakea, fair flower, was the name I was given; taught to honor, and respect, and understand. Koo Lau, windward side, is where I’m from. Where the dirty little fisher kids thrived in the Hawaiian sun; bathing in the rivers of Green Valley ‘cause we had no running water. Mama shampoos our hair with the wild ginger, Awapuhi. Daddy says jump in.
Bitter-sweet memories, halo ilo li. I weep for a time when we were washed clean by the fresh mountain rain water, running through Pele’s veins, into the ocean.
No longer can it touch my skin.
Oh little children, please slow down and open your hearts. Learn from the chants and the dances of the Ancient Ones.
