What would you say to me
If I told you that all things
have a name?
A name, created forever ago-
A name singular, secret and sacred-
A name that grants form?
What if I told you
that if you cried out
The Name of the Moon,
You could bathe at mid-day
under its dappled, failing shine-
playing partner to its light?
That if you called to the skies
you could surround yourself
with a span of azure infinity,
Paint sun-songs with hidden words,
Or caress cloud-worn creations while
floating in blue nothingness?
To think; You could merely utter
The Name of Oceans - That
vast implication; You could
Summon distant, breaking shores
for your own inspection and approval-
To satisfy the simplest curiosity?
Would you say it was a fantasy?
Something grand to ponder;
And then regretfully forget?
That to strum the chords of creation
with key-words and mere intentions,
Is a blasphemy?
But what if... What if
I spoke to you the Name of Love,
As soft as daylight-sighs ending?
Would you scoff at my audacity,
To arrogantly manipulate its meaning
by not letting it go free?
Or would you realize, and see-
That despite all that power, I can't find
the name for what you mean to me?
