Russian Sage

Russian sage

They call you Russian Sage,
They name you Perovskia atriplicifolia
after a Russian general,
Disregarding the fact that you are from Central Asia，
Ignoring that you are not a member of salvia.

But who cares?
Not you, not me,
As long as you are you,
As long as you enjoy this small piece of barren land.

Blooming a cloud of blue,
Evaporating a garden of fragrance,
Attracting a crowd of bees and hummingbirds,
you dance in the wind,
wearing a sun-filled smile.

I look at you, 
I smell you, 
I touch you,
I share a dream with you 
under this vast sky.
