Author's Note:
This is another poem I wrote as a result of my recent trip to Deep Cove, on Doubtful Sound, in New Zealand's Fiordland National Park - a UNESCO World Heritage-listed Wilderness area.
It is also an area of earthquake activity, which is referred to in the first stanza of the poem.
The landscape is very dramatic, almost overwhelming. I went there to know more about it and to photograph its beauty on the grand scale and in its smaller details.

The phrase "I've come to know my place" carries various connotations: that of discovery, as well as intimidation and dominance - a feeling of insignificance, and also reverence for a spiritual connection as part of creation.
