HOKIANGA HARBOUR......
Lush green, drips with dew
Halo of light, paints shiny hue
Dense darkness, sun explodes
On golden wings, morning rode
Lifting light, to flood the land
Sun wore halo, golden band
Surge of light, so rapid spread
From sky above, to nature's bed
Underfoot, where grasses spring
Skin tingles as moisture clings
Rushing water- musical tunes
Guides ocean, to rising dunes
Golden sand, meets golden sun
Circle a sea, as quick tide runs
Brings new life, upon a beach
Fingers of ocean, aim to reach
Paradise, meets turquoise sea
Home to few, gives life to free
Tiny inlets, with coves and bays
Nature secret- sand-bars lay
Secures harbour, few will see
Isolated location, its safety key
Hills that climb, from valley floor
Harbour entry, its hidden door.

About this poem:
The west coast harbour at the top of New Zealand remains safe from tourism, for many reasons.....Sand bars block the entry and few boats sail upon its waters......instead its raw beauty remains with a few historic settlements.....and tourists who found it, and never left, living side by side with locals......

Still a humid evening up here.
Kathy....
Render your thinking......
Immerse to which full fills you
Always a time to
create time alone
The Northland still lives to be a beautiful home for me.
Take care
Soph
