Tim Smith Poet Free verse

The Road To Righteous

The road to righteous albeit rocky
each bump pulls a mighty toll
the hills stand steep but majestic
I ride unknowing whence I go

Night nearer still beseech my way
moon comfort me in thou bosom
bloom satin rays of great acquaintance 
nudging me off a sumptuous way 

Kiss off thy breeze to Compostela
deepen ill looks upon mine eye
fill vacancy amongst spiritual relation
star-bright  descend low where I lie

Anne-Marie Coreggia May 25, 2017 at 8:22 AM This wonderful poem sounds inspired by a desire for spirituality. There is a pretty good movie w/Martin Sheen called 'The Way' that you may enjoy. I was so taken by it I tried to talk my kid into crossing from the Pyrenees into Spain all the way to Santiago de Compostela:) Amitiés
