When asked of his brilliance
the sage replied:
"Not quite illumined-
like the plant
half submerged
half screaming light!
Epigram #130:
SAGE
Better the fool you now know
Than mere dead sage for show

An old adage says
that, "With wisdom comes age", at
times, age comes alone.

A sage embarasses his friend
drains the blood from his face
prefaces a bit of his friend's earthly end
in Perpetuity the stain hath no place
Saw I a sage,
In his frowny tumult age.
'Life begots what you conceive',
Said he,as my air he perceived.
Lost in this eulogy,
I pine for oratory.

You are a light on my world
You are love by your looks
We are what the ancients
Call many things
Most of all
Love

There once was a yellow canary sage,
Who trapped a naughty cat in a cage.
With feathers so bright,
It plotted all night,
Till the cat escaped and ate it in rage.
SAGE TREES SERENELY CANVASSING
Quiet tree branches,
Lean as if in prayer;
Leaves soon to be graved:-
Indeed, Spring will soon pass on;
Leaf-falling Fall, awaiting:-
Enveloped in humane rage,
she was a torturous sage,
pierced his wounded spirit,
she went forth to tear it,
forbidding it for him to breathe
she summoned dark to wreathe
in love, the chicken squeezed — red comb,
a brighter hue than the child’s hair.

Aine, Irish faerie from Glaslough listened to butterfly’s advice.
Sage, solid, sassy, and succulent as always, and twice as nice.
It set the mood for the St. Patrick’s Day parade.
When darkness seeks to light upstage
and fires of fear within us rage,
win or lose, with love as heart’s muse,
feeling beauteous bliss beat hues,
coming of age, we turn the page.
Whether friendship or love
Take care with each other
Be honest with each other
That's enough.
Whether in this life or after
Always treasure good deeds
When the time ends come
You'll not find any regret.
Legs on my lap, foot massage
Fingers between toes
Hand cream smooth and slippery
Seeing where this goes
Nerve endings on alert
Responding with vibration
Muscles submitting to my touch
Totally relaxation
Sages sadly sing
LeftBrain dominant songs
of resonant resistance
to crown-caste uppity dispassion
While Muses gladly design
RightBrain prominent dances
for resilient persistence
in root-caste deep compassion.
Drifting
on a vast ocean
emerald spangled
calling to celestial plains
of the lost citadel
where forgotten tribes
communed in radiant silence
and telepathed secrets
beyond the mortal prophesies
of sages.
Art follows ecology
of inductive diametrical synergy
As science leads logos
through deductive dialectical simplicity
As religious culture accompanies mythos
seducing ancient dialogues
in amusing sage symmetry
Owl queen sees the virginal fowl flying into the night
He is a glorious bird, a wise one, sage, a marvelous sight.
Landing gently on her arm, he shows her empathetic might.
She knows in that moment the forest will be all right.
If at first you don't succeed, I have some advice
Don't try skydiving, you may pay the ultimate price
Dying's really bad enough
While you're dying hurting is tough
Tried it but once but there sure won't be a twice
Broken.
Ripped and torn.
Out of ashes she was born.
A woman scorned?
Or Karma.
We all kneel.
For she’s had a bad deal.
Curses to give.
Broken dreams to follow.
Hard to get her.
Harder still to forget her.
Quatrain #705:
SAGE
See the truth here where love funds show,
Ask for good cheer to learn and grow;
Glimpse joy that steers your happy place,
Emerge sans fear the way you know.

In natured wording,
In what season can you say,
“Never say never?!”
It’s said, “God never leaves us!”
Never will this not be?!
Never ever stop
Fighting for liberation;
No, never ever:-
Such audacious wordplay;
Saying, “Never say never.”
Quatrain #812:
SAGE
Seek stillness here where now greets poise,
Ask for good cheer to seize true voice;
Glimpse love right here as grace shows truth,
Etch focus clear with sanguine choice.

Dispensing Keys
by Hafiz
translation by Michael R. Burch
The imbecile
constructs cages
for everyone he knows,
while the sage
(who has to duck his head
whenever the moon glows)
keeps dispensing keys
all night long
to the beautiful, rowdy,
prison gang.
There once was a travelling sage
Who yet lived to a very old age.
Well becoming quite senile,
With problems (yes penile),
The reader may choose:
1) He kept his packed trunk in a cage.
or
2) He packed his wee trunk in a rage.
