Why does an orchid appear to dance? ~
It spends many months taking lashings from clouds ~
Then feels the relief from its rolled up fists. ~
Sensing the sun beating down on its cap ~
It opens its limbs like a maid gliding free ~
And why does it appear to sing? ~
It spends many months with its wing in a tie ~
Till smothering clouds take their shadows awry ~
It loosens its petals to stretch out its tongue ~
A diva that trills beneath a naked sky. ~
