Flicking through time like a book with many pages,

ebbing and flowing down through the ages,

viewed from a far with brackets of water,

close to Rangi when erupted like morter.

Recovered with green is this lovely scene,

Mother Nature Father Sky keeping house clean,

boats and sheep move in between,

as I stand on Cockle Bay,come what may.

Taken from Cockle Bay in the East of Auckland,looking towards Browns Island in the Waitamata Harbour.Next to this little island is the big extinct volcano Rangitoto Island just out of camera shot to the left.
