Like a rock spring waters of life upon the trees below the valleys, a season where birds in the bush whistle their coming to play with humanity unarmed from the forest, Amaseikumo! My eyes have seen, my ears have heard your blessings, barefooted I stand at the entrance of Gbaraun Egbesu waiting for your tidal appearance, bless these men, let their tongue speak like I do.
