Original- Lahaina ’23
When the fires of August 2023 struck Maui, I was struck with the need to say or do something to support and commemorate the area and those who died. I wrote this, and have continued to adjust it as new information has arrived. I hope you enjoy.
“Lahaina ’23” cw T.J Carney, 2023
The image behind me is the eruption of Mauna Loa in 2023 as seen from Puiki, Hana, Maui. The cover plate is of Lahaina before the fires.

<div>I stayed in Laina last June. I know a lot of the landmarks like the banyan tree. Crazy to see those pictures.</div>

It will be very strange to return. Sounds like the tree has survived. Loss of the Court House and Front Street are a huge impact.

MAHALO NUI LOA!

that’s a beautiful tribute song @AttyTJ to the Banyan tree and the people of Lahaina, Maui.

Really nicely written and composed @AttyTJ . The entire situation has just been heartbreaking to watch. I’ve never been there, but I hear it was quite beautiful prior to the fires. The loss and devastation are simply unfathomable. Great tribute to the situation.
