The ballad of the Waimata

A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

I am the river
The river is me

I am dying

Understand: I am the whole
Understand: I have no parts
Understand: The order of
relations
The Interconnected Whole

I am the river
The river is me

Heed the bells of warning
Stand up
Draw the lines
And uphold your policy

I
Am the
River
The river is me
And
I
Am

Waiting!

- Robyn Wilkie
