Sage Poem by kipper Stagg

He once said “To know people is to have great knowledge, but to know self is to have great wisdom! ” and tenderly He tried to guide me.
“If you try to change to fast you will meet resistance”
But Love conquers all through gentle persistence
If love could tell it then tell it plain, and glancing backwards with opened mind
Delves deep within setting souls free!
Looking for answers brings only more questions
Love, pure, unadulterated calms the beast, helps us see
Hate starts where Love ends and love makes mortal enemies our closest friends.
Thought flows like a stream through the brain, gentle, soothing organic.
Avoiding sharpened words, trying to make amends, haste bringing confusion and panic!
Anger is an energy.
He is gone now that wise old sage, life’s book for him had turned the final page!


For my Father a wise old sage
