The hidden wealth of light

Hurunui River

The hidden wealth of light

Sometimes the light trickles in

as you stumble through a broken world,

pressed down by the darkness.

Light from behind the stars

envelopes you with calmness, 

pierces hope into your heart 

Sometimes the light trickles in

You try to grasp the treasures rays

as their magic, touches you, makes 

you come alive, nourishes you. The light

lingers inside your soul, when you live

in the shadow and rest on decaying leaves.

Sometimes the light trickles in

on the wings of music, on the waves of 

laughter, always joining you in dance.

You can witness its sparkles

on the wild river rushing through the

wilderness, whispering wisdom 

Sometimes the light trickles in,

as you tune into the source that feeds 

you with words, which lights up 

someone’s eyes, reflecting your healing.

Grow your wealth, use the light 

for the seeds of love you planted.
