The afternoon sun shines down upon me
as I find myself down the back of the boat
the day has been beautiful with unending love
but it's time for the Elements to return to their homes
Creating a wake with my hoe in the water
the waka slows down and moves to the jetties
Spirits of faceless people embark
back on board to the songs of all of it's passengers
Our waka is led by one, single woman
who sings with beauty, bravado and love
As her songs touch the ears of all of God's servants
they're reminded it's time, once again to depart
Fully extended my oar pushes off
from the riverbed floor way down below us
We move into the current of fast flowing water
and out onto the stars and into the night.
