Salvia Collection: Unwavering

The great wave of our era is here.

It is a wave of smaller waves of red and green,
each seemingly random, but owing still,
at their base, to causes that lay bare,
at least to those who dare to look.

One can trace the wave back,
to a perfect date in Spring when the verdant
vanguard shoot shot up, breaking free
of the dark cellar of root and soil.

Or, if one is feeling audacious,
one could even audit further back -
through the generations, the seasons, the cycles.
One might find the seeds of waves that seem eternal
immemorial, inviolate, perennial.

Is our wave our own, rights reserved,
or is there something that is borrowed?
Is there something that we propagate?
And who will fly away unscathed
when the wave will crash come fall?

All great questions to be pondered... but I
have the attention span (and wing span) of a hummingbird.

The great wave of our era is here, and I am going to ride it!
