Friendship Flowersong

By JK. G

My friend, carry some flowers, fill both your arms and
chest, Let them thrive within your heart as
You travel, and travel
And travel even more
Homesick, tired, let Xolotl guide you,
Keep you safe,
Travel wetlands, dry lands, flat or mountainous.
Beat your drum in response to my rhythm,
Keep in mind our friendship, pumpkin flower,
May it fill your stomach, nourishing,
And drink from a golden cup
Soft cocoa.
Sing of your travels and adventures,
Turquoise songs through the wind,
Stand up, my friend,
Elated take your flowers to the drum:
Your bitterness flees,
With every beat, your inner drum gives,
Be glad and joyous throughout,
You are my friend,
Raise your head, carry some flowers.
