You champion those who are too often
portrayed as hopeless, broken, or weak.

You clearly and colourfully illuminate
their nature, truth, their humanity.

At times clinging precariously yourself,
you have returned so many to their place
of dignity.

For that, you are a hero.

Run

Open heart, nestled in a hollow.

Eagerly peeking through the green.

Sacred heart, will not be denied.

Sound the call when shadows invade.

Broken heart, achingly solitary.

Jump, and taste freedom.

Inner heart, bashful yet bold.

Stretch, and rise on shaky legs.

Morning has broken,

My heart.

Karearea

Keen blue eye from homeland to sea

Aotearoa, where have you been?

Hunting with those long forgotten

Catching surge with ease

Heed the mountain’s call

Match prowess with speed

Dip a wing and plummet

Onrush of Kauri

The hunt is on,

For those long gone

Alarum

Stirring up trouble

A joy you can taste

So much and you *****

Escape

I will cry out against my captors.

If I don’t I should be dead.

Paint my back and put me in your cage.

Fail to see I amalgamate.

As you turn grey.

Number Of The Beast

Behold the bureaucrat

It will eat you

The world for dessert
