Aotearoa
At the edge of the world, a glimpse
of heaven. Nestled in the bush,
tuatara tunnel beneath toppled totara,
eagerly awaiting nightfall.
A melodic warble winds through the bush,
ricocheting and rustling leaves.
Overhead, a long white cloud shelters
and protects a hidden treasure.
Acrostic. Written 7 June 2014.
