A Name

Summoned from above she was one who would never be left behind

The wind whispered her name
when I was looking down
in the pools of gray
as if yesterday
had no lasting say

There were ripples pushing out to shore
and life had no knowledge
of what would be in store

words slipping into my mind
as I was slipping into her

a symphony of dreams
endlessly playing 
no beating about
the bush

branching off
the road lead me home
and in the silence
I heard her name

“Come, come, you wasp; i' faith, you are too angry. Katherine: If I be waspish, best beware my sting. Petruchio: My remedy is then, to pluck it out. Katherine: Ay, if the fool could find where it lies. Petruchio: Who knows not where a wasp does wear his sting? In his tail. Katherine: In his tongue. Petruchio: Whose tongue? Katherine: Yours, if you talk of tails: and so farewell. Petruchio: What, with my tongue in your tail? Nay, come again, Good Kate; I am a gentleman.” - William Shakespeare, The Taming of the Shrew

The phrase means that the name or label given to something does not change its intrinsic nature, character, or value. Regardless of what you call it, a rose will always look and smell like a rose. It suggests that the essence of a person or object is far more important than what it is called...
