The purpose is to be a reminder and an invitation to the wonderful experience to be had, walking the Camino de Santiago. My Camino was the "Camino Frances" The first poem "All souls" remained un-named for most of the camino, until a dear friend and walking partner delivered the name to me. As you will note it was dedicated to a very special person, a complete stranger, who showed me beyond all doubt, what the power of kindness was for.

KINGS OF LEON II
From the east they came,
Into the sun,
And with their love,
They bid me warm welcome.
A group so small,
They carried a world,
Of love and peace in abundance,
That I may be refreshed.
Weary from days walking,
I bathed in this kindness.
They simply were, graciousness,
Sharing their precious gifts.
Unto their spread table,
I was granted to eat,
The fruits of their labours,
Spending hours with rejoicing.
These four quiet souls,
With an ocean of love.
Gave to the point of exhaustion,
What a wonderful way.
And I saw only light,
From the joy they revealed.
Their powerful virtue,
Giving kindness to all.
I know now that love,
Can conquer us all,
Because I witnessed a miracle,
More than you know.
And these simple people,
Who displayed such power,
Rose in my understanding,
To be forever, THE KINGS OF LEON.
Again I pay homage to Uschi, Paul, Carina and Hanns.
