Up with busy brain
In the stealth of the night
Diamond studs
On black velvet sky
Air crisp with frosty promise
Māori New Year
Celebrated today
The stars came out to play
As I tossed and turned
Sleep disturbed
By brain or stars?

Thank you! Yes, NZ is for the first time recognising this significant time for Maori and have now added this day as a public holiday
