Te Waikoropupu Springs

The whisper of rain breaks the silence.
Glimpses of another world.
Swirling water.
Life drifts in a perpetual cycle of currents.
A spirit stares back.
A delicate veil.
Minds wander, sinking.
A pool of immensity.
The shadow of a rain cloud looms, striking fear into fish.
The rain’s ripples are fleeting.
Bubbling sand dances and jumps at the bottom of the spring.
Eyes linger in the serenity of the pools.
An enigma beneath the young earth fuels the rushing water.
A breath of life cascades through the rivers after emerging from below.
