The Orchids Sang To The Birds|Dr.Achinglu Kamei

The bamboo danced
The orchids sang to the birds
The happy tidings
The lone sojourner
Wafted through the bamboos
Cicadas chorushed
Reminiscing home
Flashes of spring passing by
Surviving lockdown
Raengan stone steps are
Silent testimony of
Ancestors’ story
Work on courageous
Your story too will be
Woven and preserve
Together we fight
Corona who passed by
Throughout the mountains
Working together
Soon we will overcome
Make ancestors proud
The sun shines, spring stays
The orchids sang to the birds
The happy tidings
Achinglu Kamei
