Whenua Narratives

the stories are there

to teach us  

timeless lessons 

spiralling through time

scenes ebbing and flowing

through fixed values 

I lie with the whenua

connecting to my ancestors 

I lie with the sea

and listen

guided by the rhythm of the tide  

a portal to hear their whispers 

the ripple of their touch

embracing my skin
