Hong Kong Orchids Poem by Keith Shorrocks Johnson

香港兰花

当雨伞升起，我们抬起天空
紫荆花或兰花的开花
在明亮的黄色圆盘上轻轻向下漂移
这样他们就成了用鲜花图案的遮阳伞。

让我们一起快乐，邀请太阳本身
收集白色五瓣花
对地球如此轻柔自如地坠落
雨越来越清楚可能会有更好的日子。

HONG KONG ORCHIDS

As the umbrellas are raised and we lift the sky
The blossoms of the bauhinia or orchid tree
Drift down softly on the bright yellow discs
So that they become parasols patterned with flowers.

Let us be joyful together and invite the sun itself
To gather the white five-petaled blooms
Which fall so gently and so freely to the earth
That better days may come as the rain clears.
