e iti noa ana, na te aroha *

(For Cushla)

There is so much space

Between me

And the sky

In every way

Less between us

That heart of yours

Sends shockwaves

Sun blasts from the sky

Heats the back

Pacifies

Drawn deep from the belly

Of Papatuanuku

You are wild

You are

Full of storm

You are the eye of your own storm

Witness to it all

Calm

Observer

Of spirits walking

Waiho i te toipoto, kaua i te toiroa **

* This is a tiny gift but it comes with all my love

** Let’s stay close and not far apart
