I had been here before, a long time ago.
Exactly where here was, I couldn’t say.
I only knew that I had been very happy. I had belonged. It had been home.
I had been here before, a long time ago.
Was it a memory…or just a dream?
Perhaps I was playing at make-believe.
I had been here before, a long time ago.
Others were with me. I was not alone.
They were fussing and fawning, bowing and curtsying.
I had been here before, a long time ago.
Momentary lightness quickly turned to thundering darkness.
Lightning bolts ripped my cloud apart.
I had been here before, a long time ago.
Torrential rains shut out the sun.
Blackness.
I had been here before, a long time ago.
I grew in light and beauty…the darkness retreated.
My life…the sun.
I had been here before, a long time ago.
My island paradise. My people. My Maui.
At last…I am home.

Hugmamma, I’m sorry I put Dawn’s name on that. I must have been reading my email wrong. I thought of you when I read the beautiful accompanying piece. I hate it when I make mistakes like writing the wrong person’s name on something. I don’t do it often, but I hate it when it happens. Sorry. 😦 That is a beautiful photo. 🙂 —Susan
