Mushroom Parasite, Ya Cha Gum Ba

                                                                             Soo Yong Kim

In Mt. Himalaya over 5,000 meters by altitude

Mysterious mushrooms, Ya Cha Gum Ba, grow in worm 

Like parasite.

 

A golden herb called eternal youth!

Nepalese people risk their lives to pick these herbs and

Their journey on foot looks very perilous and adventurous.

Crawling on hands and knees to look for the herb 

In the mountain.

 

In the naked rocky mountain

Suffering from altitude sickness,

I am so touched to tears to see that they catch the herb

In the risky adventure.

 

They are sick and tired of poverty and determined

To live better off,

They have to walk along the steep pass for two weeks.

At last, they reach the mountain where they are destined to mount.

Their risky struggle for existence looks so bitter that somehow 

It looks superb.

 

A spore to be parasite enters the worm(larva)

And grows to sprout, 

If the snow in the mountain melts away.

The herbs are well known to a cure-all precious and precious.

 

At Do Ta Rap, Nepal, traders of Nepal load packages

On the back of donkeys and yaks and reach the altitude.

They fight for the survival for the fittest on the spot.

They collect the herbs found in the search of like miners

Digging the gold kindling the lamp of their eyes.

 

Between the border of China and Tibet,

There is a market called Chung Ra, and over there

The traders gather together and do business deals.

After Nepalese traders sell the herbs at the highest price,

They tighten the purse strings at their sides and return home

Triumphantly. On their sunburnt wrinkled faces, 

Their smiles are in full bloom with the waves of golden herbs.

 

Their pilgrimage to Himalaya will keep going on

From generation to generation.

The Nepalese only dream to fulfill, Ya Cha Gum Ba!

Their blue dream to become better off is rather touching,

And even beautiful.
