sageness
eyes deep set Prussian blue
her wrap magenta saffian
both contradicting her gifts
from fields and avenues
they journey to her in search of
wisdom beyond her years
sage to valleys hills near
far and wide
she brews prairie green tea
at her throne serves
steamy liquid of wisdom
lore and intellect collide
from one pot energy rising
to break the bread of peace
comfort anger’s vengeful ways
bright of day dark of night
she mediates those struggling
within their inner circles
of values and perceptions
tainted with ego and lust
born of man’s ugly dust
she who ministers
to the measures of mankind
sageness in hands out reached

You honour Sage as she should be honoured - great writing for a great artist. This is not just 'beautiful' tribute, it's rich in the truth and totally justified.
Fine fine work.

I absolutely love it! I am so very honored that you wrote this poem 'sageness' and dedicated it to me and my namesake. This is a high honor and I'll tell you why. First of all, in this beautiful poetry, I feel a great deal of directed atonement in the right energy. All the lines in your poem have great meaning to me perceived of a social issue of justice, but this line is particularly powerful to even the notion of righting a wrong of so much I have personally written.
"from one pot energy rising
to break the bread of peace

Jon Michael, do know this is a turn of events that most certainly will cast some thought around these Christmas and Pagan days of the Goodwill of man! You're the best my friend!
Love and Sincere Gratitude,
Sage
Sage is a beautiful soul
and a loving woman and also
a wonderfully talented
& uniquely creative artist
