Stirring up fire on transfixed feet
'Aikamumu, with its land devouring teeth
Pushing upwards to the heavens
Sinking downward to the depths of Halema'uma'u
Danced like a martial arts kata
Energy in the hands and feet,
Extending beyond the horizon.
Words chanted from the depths of one's core,
The explosion of ki, kyats.
Not your plasticized hula seen in movies from the 40's.
Meaning Full
Energetic explosions
A gift of hula with specific protocol to be observed
A remedy for those in need
Of fires stirred on transfixed feet

- Titah Thoughts
- I was educated during the period when speaking the Hawaiian language was discouraged, hula focused on hapa-haole songs and whatever Hawaiian crafts I learned were from gracious Hawaiian women in the summer fun program. At this late stage in my life, I am trying to learn about my culture and how the various experiences create the Hawaiian in me.
