A Footprint on the Road to Santiago

 

A footprint on the road to Santiago

It has meaning - a footprint, and another

An indent from the ferrule of a stick

Toward a vision of a Field of Stars

 

Sin-weary and sunburnt, a pilgrim plods

Through weeds and dust and sometimes traffic lights

And idlers mocking from across the road

Toward a vision of a Field of Stars

 

Where free from sin and pain and blood and scars

He may at last find peace in that Field of Stars
