Matariki

Matariki

Matariki shines like a diamond.  If you look up at the dawn sky in early June you will find Matariki.

Matariki is a cluster of 7 stars also known as the 7 Sisters.

They shine as bright as a crystal.

They ZOOM across the sky like dancing ballerinas.

All seven stars are beautiful like a full moon.

It is a Maori new year.

As I look up into the sky I see Matariki dancing like a ballerina.

The Seven Sisters start glowing like diamonds in the dawn sky shimmering and sparkling.

BOOM, POP, CRACK the beautiful blue and black shades beam out brightly like a patterned painting using neon colours.

I imagine touching Matariki holding it in my bare hands fluttering around trying to escape like a butterfly caught in a net.

They sit there blinking and twinkling through my mind, taking over my brain with beauty.

Then suddenly they whoosh, away leaving me with beautiful and amazing thoughts of them trailing threw my mind.

Matariki is gorgeous.

Matariki moves magnificently across the gleaming sky.

With its 7 blue angels speeding through space ZOOM.

It’s as pretty as the Milky Way, isn’t it?

One day I would like to go and meet the 7 Sisters.
