Poem Commentary

While listening to the Appalachian Christmas Quartet, in Wichita, during their farewell tour (2008), I penned this poem. The music they played and the groups name gave me reason to think of a mountains, trees, and the beauty of nature, and how God created it all. Thus, this inspirational poem.

Timberline High

Where do I go,
only God can know,
lost in my mind,
far above the timberline.

Exploring new land,
there’s endless sand,
where clouds billow,
with whispering willow.

Music takes me there,
beautiful harmony fair,
every beat of the drum,
like a soft sweet hum.

That’s the place,
with God’s amazing grace,
where He plants a seed,
providing what I need,
way up on timberline high,
where I hear...God sigh.

Another VERY good poem. I liked the flow of this one.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
