‘O Mo’oinanea i ke aka Waiau

I dreamt of a lake on the mountain last night
It was vast and cerulean
Adorned in morning frost
I could feel the water beneath the surface as my feet met her frozen skin
It was beautiful
Wākea rituals held in a sacred circle
Bound together by kaula and Kāula
Eyes full of stars with messages from the ancients whispering through the silence
Gifting us chants to guide us back to this realm when we were ready

I could still hear our last refrain as I opened my eyes this morning

‘O Mo’oinanea i ke aka Waiau
Still making the journey on the rainbow bridge
