POETRY
Poetry giveth light
Poetry giveth love
Poetry warms the soul
Which is inspired by the heavens above
Poetry floweth softly
Like the streams of Titikaveka
It’s words falleth gently
Like the droplets of the early morning dew
Upon the petals of the tipani
Poetry is pure
Even more than the scent of the Tiare Maori
Poetry pierceth deeply
Even to the very heart, the fatu and the ngakau.
Poetry cometh from near
Poetry cometh from afar
Poetry invigorateth the soul
Which riseth to the morning star
