Ocean

You wanted a love 

as deep as the ocean,

I gave you my soul 

I am that ocean,

But you were looking 

Somewhere else -

I was your Te Fiti

An island just for you,

But the flowers wilted, 

My name is Te Kā

Flowers in bloom 

They turned into lava

I burn in the ashes 

A killer of oceans 

You had my waters

But you chose the land
