Rangi Lying Down With Papatuanuku

   We lie together
            And your body touches
            The rise of my hills
            And your body touches
            The darkness of my cave

            We lie together
            And my body touches
            The lightness of your clouds
            And my body touches
            The whisper of your air

            We lie together
            And your fingers clasp
            The warmth of my earth
            And my fingers clasp
            The nothing of your sky

            We lie together
            And your body
            Enters mine
            And my body
            Receives yours
