Soft sage redeems a listless view
Clarity and warmth smooth the walls
Settling in the mind a certain venture
And the cease of a futile focus

I have not found a cold stone
Only texture, and reflection
The aura of something strong and hard
My sculpture has changed in my own eyes

If a rock, would I be granite?
Then grant me sandals
If I cannot tumble smooth the edges
Such heights leave passages to skip

Soft sage…the echo that was born into me
So vigorously criticized that pliable part
Transformed from quiet depths to water falls
Still, I have a will that is relentless

Made certainly a mute observer
To accept the grace of solitary waves
Blown in fragrant knowledge through my fields
Green, and ever merciful the rendering of this

Bring me voice of mercury
My eyes fall upon chaos in two whispers
Making mine, a canvas perpetual to reinvent
Soft sage, for wisdom hopes to grow

Oh my, TD...you inspire me!!  

"Bring me voice of mercury
My eyes fall upon chaos in two whispers
Making mine, a canvas perpetual to reinvent
Soft sage, for wisdom hopes to grow"

I wish I had written this!

Oh, if I were to breathe out loud a beautiful heart felt sigh, it would be this~

As always, a wonder of words you are to read, to feel, and to ponder, dear Lady~

...wind and earth and fire and water...

An engaging elemental write of beauty, grace, and wisdom.

May the cleansing power of sage be with you always.
