warajam splashing

By Laura, Malia & Lucy

Published 1 December 2025

waves, ocean, guhng calming, flowing

reflecting to the land, helpful dolphins

in the glare full of the life, taking its chance

warajam splashing around blowing the palm

trees calming underneath the guhng,

humming voices vibrations underneath the water

waving through the sky
