Koru-Patterned Hearts

When we're walking, lost in worlds of green, Silver ferns curling elegantly, And you link your fingers through mine. No need for talking about what has been, The tui sings with clarity, Each pure note resonating into our time. We find our own world where it's only me and you, Enraptured by the sky above, a secret shade of blue. There will always be koru patterns inked upon my heart, Sparkling with the glitter you have sprinkled from the start. Your heartbeat and the bellbirds cry, Are the only sounds that I can hear, Curled safely into your arms where I belong. Captured by natures languid sigh, With warm emotions sketched so clear, Laughter immunizes us to every kind of wrong. Our path has twisted and turned like the branch of a pohutukawa, But at the end we blossomed into the redness of such ardour. Under diamond skies you know that I'm thinking of you, Manuka honey kisses sweet, leave sugar drenching through. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Silver fern - New Zealand's symbol, native plant Tui - native NZ bird with amazing vocal abilities Koru - Maori pattern, the curl of an unopened fern Bellbird - NZ bird, sounds like a bell Pohutakawa - native NZ tree with red blossoms Manuka - native NZ tree with sweet nectar, used for honey farming
