On the walls of an old rickety shed
are names of sojourners who’ve passed this way;
now my wandering boot does older tread
where I passed on a long forgotten day.
Winding a road less travelled to the sea
drinking beer, watching the wind and tide turn,
where long into the night yon the jetty
aerodrome Air Squadron lights brightly burn.
Into its riptides I dive bombed its depths
where over the skyhawk war birds had flown,
and from its drag clung to those ocean steps
or lifesaver tossed in the deep pull zone.
Now time and tide fade on this hidden cove
where beneath the waves the taniwha rove.
Written: December 1991
