Listen (Random Word Poem) By Hauoli Kahaleuahi


Pure music is a decadent dessert
Like rare, French chocolate gently mixed raw.
When absorbed, distressed feelings disappear.
No longer oppressed, your soul comes alive.

Not all musical parts are softly played,
Some melodies from the sound system pound.
Toward your eardrums the beat strongly flows,
Resisting all cries for help, for calm notes.

Depressed you may become, empty inside.
You long for a fun scent of harmonies,
Not like that of graveyards or post-war thoughts,
But of happiness that thrives and that lives.

Perhaps Jehovah will send soothing tunes,
Like the crest of waves covering the shore.
Tense muscles will relax as peace arrives.
Your guard comes down while entering a muse.

Here, peril lies in a pile outside.
It doesn’t dare to press it’s luck or try.
Here, you are away from society,
From social pressures and ruthless gangs.

Here, smells of ganja stem from corridors
And from rooftop pipes it descents lower.
A magical variety of scents,
Leaving you in sync with the melody.

No longer do you feel stuck in a trench.
In this world of heavenly music
Your mind is wrenched from terror and nightmares.
No matter your gender, you too can find

A haven within music’s purity,
A place in which hope patiently awaits.
