Waimanu Valley

Waimanu Valley transformed before me

A cauldron of rock and sea

From gentle waves to a thunderous cloud

Cleansing the earth beneath me

An underwater landslide perfectly phrased

Earth shudders as ground and ocean embrace

Striving passion driven by views of molten lava

Tongue-like waves lap the shore enchanting mother earth

A full moons beam dives unbridled to uncharted depths

Rip tides grind and gyrate to mother's delight

Winds hurl as cloud land and sea become one

A gelatinous entity entangled with the cosmos

Tsunami strikes deep up the center of the valley

And white caps spew forth

Spattering Waimanu's rock laden floor

As mother earth lays back and sleep 'til dawn
