Honolulu Passing

My city takes place before me
Every day of my life
A show me and tell me
I have a hard time remembering
Can’t keep straight in my head
Because my city goes by so swiftly
Words and deeds whipped away
On a day by day wind of change
A constant disappearing act
Evolving aloha whisked away
Meanings of the moment
Continually swept into the past
Gone with all that’s being lost
Momentary echoes of fast fading times
You will never be able to recall as if
This city was nothing more
Than a passing dream
Lost and forgotten forever
The instant you woke up
