So many of you beautiful ladies at AD have been my readers and encouragers, even when I am absent for long periods of time. I am writing a collection of poems that are dedicated to you. These are my gifts to you, not only for your support but in tribute to the unique and wonderful woman each of your are. This one is for Ms.Sage Sweetwater

FIREBRAND

For Ms. Sage Sweetwater


she saddles up her horse of tomorrow’s yesterday
and rides the wide lonely range of disavowed genius
whiskey in a mason jar and several wives in tow
she fires the ramshackle ruins of dead religion
with the hot torch of her sharp firebrand’s tongue
seasoned gunslingers quake at her lightning draw
fear her perfect aim with the shotgun of honesty
the world tried to break her.... damn if it didn’t
all it did was pour pig iron into her dogged soul
strong and free, like those wolves she lived with
loyal, sensitive and affectionate to those she loves
knows all about life and fools who think she don’t
she is an eternal force of verve to be reckoned with
earning condemnation of dried up gossips and deacons
sparking admiration of kindred spirits and desperados
Sage, the sage, brave purveyor of old west wonders
trusty friend, companion on this long trail of infamy
always obliged to share the whiskey, if not the wives

HA!!!! What can I say? DJ we've come a long ways, you and me, from Jolene! This is going be displayed on my AD homepage with your AD link! I truly admire you DJ. It's days like this that make me proud to be an alchemical GOLD member of AD in good standing. Always obliged to share the whiskey, but not The Sundance Wives, Blue, Carolyn, Gianetta and Sage. We love you all! Blessed Be.

Love and Perfumed Garters,
Sage
