Nom De Plume

It’s important
 what you get called
has a name,
one you can take
to the ivory
border
It’s important
what you’re called
is remembered the same,
today recollected 
tomorrow
reordered
A mark on the stone
no longer
unknown,
your history and 
legacy
rendered
Sapphire crystal
overlord set,
the past 
eponymous  
the future
