Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Tibetan Spring Sunrise

cold harsh desolate terrain
where life to us seems hostile and cruel
gardens painstakingly nurtured
with minimal returns

so much effort so little gain
yet a most appreciative and spiritual people
atop their mountains so close to God

I do think people living close to mountains can feel God faster than the rest of us ; there is such awe and reverence surrounding them.

Yes, it's one place I'd like to visit... I wonder if I'd decide to stay ~
