Where mountains part, we gather

When mountains shifted, roads fell silent

A province split, supplies grew thin

We thought COVID tested our strength

But isolation cut deeper, revealed within

We traced new paths, north to the States

For food and hope, we ventured out

A roundabout route, through foreign gates

Our community's resilience, sought without doubt

Trapped by earth, cut off from the land

We felt the weight of a distant band

But in our need, we found a closer tie

Neighbors became lifelines, strangers passed by

Temporary ties, a bridge to now

But when the storms come, will we somehow

Find our footing on shifting ground?

A province reunited, yet still unbound

In fear of floods, in wait of slides

We hold our breath, where mountains decide

Yet in our bonds, a different tide

A community woven, side by side
