Ohana

Her childhood memories are all stained

with a disconsolate anguish of

Solitude...Isolation...Loneliness.

An ache so deep in her soul

It took half a lifetime to pinpoint.

Overwhelmed by a flood of grief

at this realization and yet

It felt like recalling

a long forgotten dream.

It seemed that in this life,

in this incarnation of being,

Her trials and tribulations

stemmed from within that void inside.

No chemical made by the hands of men,

nor any by Mother Nature herself,

Could bridge this chasm.

Until she figured out how to ground

And how to clear space.

With a leap of faith,

the steady passage of time

Opened up a door

through which she passed.

Her heart now beats in pure joy.

The void full to bursting with love.

For a future to spend

The rest of her mortal days,

Pouring out her love and lifting up

The beautiful souls she's finally found;

Her FAMILY.
