I am mauna kea
The oceans surround her
Land builds up to her
She is the Piko, the navel, of us kanaka or hawaiian people
From the depths of the sea
To where clouds meet land
She stands the tallest mountain
Her cloak of white creates a chill down her body
Effecting all of Hawai?i by winds
Home to the two legged
The four legged
The eight legged
And the ones carried by wings
She who created I
She who gives life from within
And She who connects me to my sky father as well as my earth mother
I am a protector of her
I am one who rests on her
I am Mauna Kea
