My Brother

This flowing river
It holds my hand
Takes me under
Away from land
To water
My biorhythms
Intertwine
My Wairua
Afloat in time
Greenstone Taonga
Chiseled so fine
In this River
Unlike this Sea
No ebb
Just flow
Flowing Rivers
There is no end

Comments: greetings brother, the river of which you speak is a powerful source of tapu,
deep wairua that makes it self known only to those who feel its mauri. Rastafari, you speak the truth. sista naphti

Comments: Aussie? I think Maori, which is New Zealand, Val, and yes, it has a haunting loveliness, evocative and eloquent.
