Sage

Sage just does not know when to stop.
Not everything needs your energy.
This green knows the weight of No.
Not everything needs your company.

Sage gets tired of useless talk.
Explanations we do not need.
Your No is enough, there is No need to rush.
This green collides with harmony. 

This green will gently close the door.
A shade that leaves me whole.
Sage is the green that clears the air.
But it does not promise miracles. 

Sage is not about renewal.
It is about honoring boundaries.
This green smooths with no spectacle.
Burning away such misery.
