as i sit here on the hill close to wellington
i look out over the glowing sun shining through the clouds
over ocean
over sea
this place infuses itself into me
tears from within
fall into the ground
like small drops that lead to the ocean
there is something here that i cannot fathom
something amazing
unknowable
majikal
this world
this time
those eyes
these currents
my heart
all the threads that have bought it all together
i stitch it back together
into a place
a new space
we read poetry today
and stitched
went to the ocean
and my heart made an offering to the sea
i feel what i do not know
and flow with what i cannot sew
and it all comes to pass
in stitches
the quiet beauty i think i have fallen
so.....
i am scared
and I stand up
thank you colin, thankyou India, thankyou Felicity, thankyou pounamu, thankyou ocean, thankyou sun, thankyou thankyou thankyou
