Art and Poem by Rufus Daigle
Divine Hawaiian Coffee provides an assortment of products that are made locally in Hawaii. We also carry prints of paintings and poetry books by the well-known artist and poet, my father Rufus Daigle. He has written poetry since the age of five and has published three books. Rufus started painting at age twelve. Rufus resides in a paradise known as Hawaii. He is also a disabled veteran, wounded in the Siege of Khe Sanh after being held in a Vietnam prisoner-of-war camp. Rufus graduated from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. The following is an example of his original work from “The Mystic Sings”
Through love
A mere drop of
One’s wishes
From a succinct
Dream
That carries one
On a voyage
With you
Were pressing our faces
Against the wind
The strides we take
Are merely the
Imprint of our
Conscience silhouetted
Against the back drop
Of a recluse paradise
