guardian of the house of tears
I escape into the transcendence
of the accursed arts academy .
In the confusion of my inner laughter
a crazy bird carries me to a forbidden island
where the echo of a dishevelled haka resounds.
Cape Reinga where my wandering ends.
Wherever the blue ocean ,
marries a sea girl azure .
A long white cloud heralds a season of tears
that's the pilgrim's rain will wipe away ...
I'll walk the cape Reinga path ,
my soul exalted by a passion of immensity
I'd offer myself to the indigo ,
devotee a savage adoration ...
Am I nothing more than a navigator
aboard a shipwreck still anchored
to some shred of reason ?
Animal filled with the finery
of my inner landscapes fury ?
I'm just a Peter Pan avatar
grayed out with marvelous ,
my eyed fixed on the line of hope
through the bars of the hotel california
and waiting for the majestuous island bird...

Traveler indeed in body, mind and spirit through other times and dimensions. Lovely symbols used in this poem.
A sacred place for the Maoris
Te Rerenga Wairua '' Where spirits take flight ''
Excellent write
Many thanks ! This place is so inspiring !
You're welcome
Cape Reinga is a symbolic place. On the one hand, it's the tip of the land in front of the vast ocean. But for the Maori, it is a sacred place from which souls depart to the next world. Emotionally and spiritually, it is the boundary where maps, routes and landmarks end. It's a place where one is left to one's own devices. It is not a place where answers are sought, but a place where silence is sought ... Great poem!
A place between land,sea and sky that leaves you with a deep feeling of unity !
No one would stop you from enjoying the scenery sitting on the hillside as there are not many tourists. However, the best time to get to Reinga is at sunset in good weather. It is quite windy on the Cape.
I really enjoyed reading this poem. Beautiful work!
Magic New Zealand !
