Millennium in Hawaii

As I gaze out my bedroom window

Into a new millenium sky

I see the starlight of Venus

Below the moon's crescent eye

The palm tree's are dancing

To nature's melodic tune

And in the sky are flowers

As if the month is June

Like a huge colorful boquet

In the midnight sky

As quickly as they burst in bloom

So quickly do they die

A Chinese dragon

Dances throughout the night

To the beat of a Chinese drum

Tossing lilies in his wake

To bring in the millennium

The sky is so crowded with color

That surely Van Gogh has been here

With a palette of paint and his brushes

Scattering flowers everywhere

Looking out over Pearl Harbour

Exploding flowers fill the air

No other New Years celebration

Can even begin to compare

A magestic wreath laid in the water

Was the reflection in the bay

And at this moment, this millennium

It is for peace we all should pray

At evening's end, when all is spent

And the fireworks finale done

A smoky fog shrouds the beach

To greet the New Years sun.
