Hinetītama / Hine-nui-te-Pō
She is the dawning light that makes our eyes glisten.
Ko Hinetītama koe, matawai ana te whatu i te tirohanga.
Her beauty is such that the bounds of righteousness and wrongness are blurred.
Her father, her husband, her children, her self.
Knowing in her self, her children, her husband, her father.
To ask the pou was a mere confirmation of a truth she knew.
To balance a choice to transform. To empower. To stand and make a stand.
She empowers her self. To transform her self. To become her self.
Not to flee but to step into her rite and evolve unto the gatekeeper of worlds.
To stand and straddle and ease the way for those yet to come.
Her power, potent. Potential. Of life and death. Dawn and night.
Giver and taker. Whare tangata and whare o aituā.
Daughter and mother. Hine, e hine.
She holds between her legs the power to deliver life or end it.
Hinetītama – dawn. Hine-nui-te-pō – night.
Hine. She is us. We are her.
Her balance within.
Make it stand out
