today I walked the driveway
to find the little treasures
that might lift this terrible weight (wait)
that sits within my chest
The breath of the wind
The sweet smell of flowers
The lighter than lace cobwebs
The feel of the leaves
The layers of mist
The dampness on the air
The wingbeat of the tūī
The song of the riroriro
This moment, this now, this present
The reassurance of my heart beating, beating, beating

When i was writing this, in my Notes app, i wanted to write 'to find the little treasures' however there was an auto incorrect that said ‘ten little treasures’
He tohu pea, he karere nō ngā tūpuna
"Āta titiro e kare, mō ēnei taonga"
and so i sought, and found, 10 little treasures . . .
