The Guide
This you are today and everlasting, as the fire and wind blended and travelled with your ashes Oh Great Warrior you sing through time indeed as open sunflowers caress your dance through the Andes and no borders, Immortal lineage blossoming with your dance, and the victories of your perseverance as you marched in battle with purpose and trust as the emblem of your vision and love for Mother Earth All in the same you came to know the humbleness in your message yet piercing through the fear and weakness, what battles you gave rise and flow with the currents of all rivers.
