Whiro te tipua
I will consume, control
and take you
With false promises, insults
and threats
You will fall and we will
become one
Tawhirimatea
I can caress you or turn you
over
I can lift and support
I have a temper – a blinding
temper
Tangaroa
A great falling of water
came to me
I control the temperature
I have children of the sea,
sea and land and the land.
We see the tiniest glimmer
of hope, potential, opportunity
Stay collective no matter what the
challenge
Together we flood the fear with
light
Whiro. Hinatore
Te Mamaru Uepoto
Peketua
Lord of the forest and its creatures
Father of mankind
Separator of Rangi & Papa
Liberator of confinement, of the
darkness Tane
I am kindness, father of Pohutu-kawa of Rongo-nui
Making paths across seas, land and sky
Rongo Rehua Tumatauenga
I bring the reflecting waters of the heavens
The water that Whiro will shy from.
I am of the upper-most-spaces
Hine-kau-oro-hia
I gave my son to contain the anger of others -
to shield my father - Tane
To protect all
Hine-pu-te-hue
I govern all Rarohenga
Abandoned, discarded, I will rain fire.
To reshape and scarify your world
Ru-au-moko
The prince of peace of healing over
all, even my brothers
Let Tu-pore-nuku and Tu-pore-rangi
cover you
Let my healing waters flow over you
Rongomatane
Rongomaraeroa
