Spirit Bay
Amniotic light
I have walked the Dark away
leyed to Spirit Bay
to hear your last song.
You will walk this Way come light
merge with sea and sky
and I..... will witness.
The shushing of seas
wind susurrant subdued - hussssh.....
someone approaches.
The fractaling light
shivering eager ahhhhhhh.....
whale song greens the blue.
.
It's for you, child, you............... Now, go.......................

Spirits Bay:
The bay is considered a sacred place in Māori culture as according to local legend, it is the location where spirits of the dead gather to depart from this world to travel to their ancestral home (or afterlife) from a large old pōhutukawa tree above the bay.[2]
The bay has two Māori names, Piwhane and Kapowairua, the latter meaning to "catch the spirit", derived from a Māori language saying that translates into English as: "I can shelter from the wind. But I cannot shelter from the longing for my daughter. I shall venture as far as Hokianga, and beyond. Your task (should I die) shall be to grasp my spirit." The words were spoken by Tōhē, a chief of the Ngāti Kahu people, who is considered one of Muriwhenua’s most important ancestors. Tōhē made his way south, naming more than one hundred places along the western coast, until dying at Whāngaiariki near Maunganui Bluff.[3] - Wikipedia
