Matariki

Matariki

It is very dark, and all I feel is sand. Suddenly I see  the fires already lit, then I see my relatives sitting by the fire. Next thing I know I hear my grandpa yell out to me “Quickly, or you’ll have to wait another year to see the Matariki stars!”

I scurry through the soft smooth sand to search the sky for the special seven stars, looking up at the night sky. Then, I feel that my feet are wet, then I look down to find myself in the freezing cold water. So I ran to warm myself up near the flickering fire. I gaze into it, looking at all the wonderful colours, then it just occurs to me that it looks like millions of tiny beautiful rubies and ambers.

Then aunty Crystal calls out to everyone, “ Everyone look up, their finally here!!!”
