whangaumu beach just after sunrise, northland, new zealand. february 2009
padding silently through
the sleeping batch
i head for the sea,
wrapping the sound
of the waves like
a cloak around me,
digging my feet in
the sand, singing a
quiet karakia,
greeting this land.
Uff, this one almost killed me. Perfect capture. Thank you, it’s been so long since I was home and I was a beach girl back then.
Oh, how magically beautiful!
I can feel the energy of being there just from your words and photo!
Breathtaking.
i miss u, beautiful girl.
I love this! A beautiful capture of a NZ morning.
this is so lovely … i can feel the sound of the waves and the sand under my feet when i read your poem … lucky girl :)
