Like Angina,
I find it hard to breathe...
thinking of whats to come...
the loves I have to leave.
Paua shells and pohutakawas
...cafes and malls
if home is where the heart is...
Why cant I have it all?
the daughter I cry over..
growing up way to fast.
my chest is tight.
how long will this last.
Quarantine
Isolation
4th time round
for the good of the nation.
Baby Pele,
she grew up behind the glass
smiling at strangers...
behind shields and masks...
Hospitals, healthcare
investigations and diagnosis
Not available in the islands,
poor prognosis
Like anxiety, my chest hurts
my heart thuds like its trying to escape
Trying to think of right from wrong
the decisions we have to make.
Covid, pandemic
new and virulent strain
sacrifice and scanning in
hopefully not all in vein...
my daughters eyes
they are so big
I see the fear in them
I want to curl her into my arms,
and tell her she'll never have to leave them
but life's been good, at never giving me
a straight path to choose
its always been a windy one
something always has to lose
God protect them,
please be at our sides
I don't know how else we will
survive ....
my heart beats
I will leave you
I will be oceans away
and in that time we must be strong
we will see each other again ,
one day
