Sage

you are sage
you are moon
I come to rest
within your spoon
the touch of fire
to leaves provoke
a healing power
within your smoke
remedy of mint spice
silvered greenery
opened eyes
to deeper scenery
from my want
to become my need
once a leaf
now a seed

Like so many times before, I come back to one of your poems and it is as though it has new words for me.  I think you have a gift.
(That, or I'm just dense.)
Either way, I like the write.
Thanks.
