Purple Sage

 

The Purple Sage
has grayish leaves,
the Sage grows gray
kind of like me
 
Some say the Sage
grows dull with age
has not one leaf
with green displayed
 
Still it survives
on occasion may
show purple blooms
like little flames
 
Despite its gray
it still retains
a certain grace-
blooms when it rains.

I felt identified immediately with the sage, dk. Very clever, as usual! 😊

I couldn't help remembering the "Riders of the Purple Sage" cowboy books by Zane Grey, DK. Funny how we can all find something different in the same piece of work.

It must be the time of year but this poem instantly drew my attention to the urgent need for some sage and onion stuffing for the turkey.
Thanks dk
