Tangaroa and Tāwhirimātea connect

Tangaroa, Atua of the Ocean


Tāwhirimātea, Atua of the Weather


With the crashing of the waves, I hear your voice

The breeze against my face, I feel your whispers

My feet in the sand, I walk the beach you rest on

The droplets of rain, I feel your tears

I dive into the surf, we embrace each other fast

The sun on my back, I feel your arm over my shoulders

The sandcastles make, we build our lives together

The clouds above, mirror our same movement below

The creatures of the sea, our pets we swim alongside

The mist that surrounds me, is the cloak that protects us

Tangaroa and Tāwhirimatea ensure we are together always

One thought on “Tangaroa and Tāwhirimātea connect

  1. It gives me joy and pride to see my dear friend, Petera, and his beautiful family, friends, and supporters. Petera is a unique and standout person. He shares generously and with love. I learn so much about what humanity can be reading his warm and love-filled messages. He, Marie-Louise, the family they have raised, and the good people he gathers around him give me hope for our world
