Poetry list
compostela
St James’s Day 2025
the shell whose rays
point us along the
way and dazzle our
soul’s eyes with a
purpose found in struggle
and company joy and
journey to a field whose
tomb thunders with a
story of devotion sacrifice
and love telling all in a
lifespan for eternity the
music of the way is the
trust and simplicity of each
step and the help the
blistered smile the
shining heart lit by
the starry field sant
iago ora pro nobis
