Kia Ora
Aotearoa
Draws me dancing into the waterfall.
Ancient reptiles turn with golden glance
Beech forests sing
Silver and black ferns connect.
Albatross, kea, yellow-eye, and kiwi
inform sky, sea, and land.
Tectonic exposures
Please the eye
Primate solace in gentle kauri.
Refresh and restore us Aotearoa.
Kia Ora
