Matariki
Matariki the Māori New Year 
Where whanau and tamariki gather midyear 
Seven shining stars up in the freezing cold dark blue sky
Only being able to see whitu, with the naked eye
The loud rumbling of our hiakai stomachs
As we smell the delicious earthy smell of our reka kai cooking
In this special occasion 
We hear the soft waiata of our Kapa Haka rōpū 
       this is a moment to remember those who sadly passed 
Matariki is here!
