Tainui, that great waka in the sky -
the flight of the Koru carrying me
into the far orbits seven miles high
at altitude above the Tasman Sea.
And on its metallic longrider wing
I gazed the moon and stars, the setting sun.
No man has seen a more glorious thing
and for me no greater journey begun!
For I was lost to a crisis of dearth,
to my fits of rage and ravage of woe -
to God in Heaven and demons on Earth
till the last flight from desolation row.
Thus here I am a longrider who flew
on the wings of Tainui back to you.
Written: July 1997
