    Poem Commentary

    I wrote this while sitting in the woods of northern Wisconsin watching my doggy play & run free. I had been on my way back from the tribal clinic and just wanted time to sit, ponder life. This poem is the result of my pondering....

    Whispering Woods

     

    There is wisdom in the woods
    if one just listens closely
    to the gentle breeze caressing the woods

    if one just
    opens their heart, their mind
    to the whispering woods

    one will hear the wisdom which will  guide us
    on life's path
    one will learn the wisdom
    as our ancestors learned

    yes, the whispering woods
    holds the wisdom to sustain peoples

     Listen!

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
