The River Flows Gently

We pilgrims form a river that gently flows

From St. Jean to Santiago or other place only the pilgrim knows

The river pools each evening as pilgrims gather

For rest or conversation, whichever they'd rather

As the river flows through the day

Conversations burble along the way

Tributaries break in each little village

As the bars and bathrooms the pilgrims pillage

Only to form a waterfall as they leave 

Then down to a trickle as pilgrims behind us we leave

To gather again at the next way point

To greet only a new friend when once again we join

The river ebbs and flows as the days go by

We are so pleased to be part of this river, it's a bit of a high
