Home thoughts

It takes a lifetime to learn

the lay of this land:

river, creek, mountain, gully

Mt Roy, Treble Cone, Black Peak, Mt Burke

Mt Gold, Mt Maude, Motatapu, Matukituki

The lake, the lawn

Skylines, snowlines, fishing lines, washing lines:

the ties that bind

resonant, etched on your mind's eye,

your memory

After a long time living

breathing, here

You will know the daintiness

and fragility of birds

the clarity of light

and the certainty of frost -

After a life of standing in moonlit driveways and

dark gardens, craning to catch

the Southern Cross

You will know, and remember all this

so when you leave, you will feel the loss

the sing and pull of the line

that leads you

home.
