Liquid Fire: The Journey of Pāhoehoe
In nature’s embrace, where fire flows bright,
Pāhoehoe waves dance in the warm Hawaiian night.
Ropy lava glistens, capturing the sun,
A gentle transformation, where chaos meets run.
From towering peaks, the molten descends,
With patience and grace, its journey begins.
Warm reds and darks weave a captivating tale,
As flowing rhythms wind over the trail.
Smooth and glossy, each curve a delight,
Reflecting the magic of nature’s own light.
Its power reminds us of creation’s own art,
A balance of gentle yet fierce from the start.
Through valleys and plains, this lava goes free,
An ancient reminder of what’s meant to be.
Pāhoehoe whispers secrets, both calm and wild,
A living testament, nature’s own child.
So stand in its presence, let your spirit roam,
In the flows of Pāhoehoe, find a piece of home.
With every warm wave that ebbs and swells,
Experience the wonder where the land’s story dwells.
