At the edge of the world, a glimpse
of heaven. Nestled in the bush,
tuatara tunnel beneath toppled totara,
eagerly awaiting nightfall.
A melodic warble winds through the bush,
ricocheting and rustling leaves.
Overhead, a long white cloud shelters
and protects a hidden treasure.

Captured sunlight ripples through her hair,
adding hues of caramel, honey and gold.
Innocence, accented by dimples.
Twitching with barely contained enthusiasm,
liable to explode in a torrent of chatter.
Intelligent, sweet and creative,
nothing will hold her back.
