The Name

In a language that the mother of all my mothers spoke I bear you a gift from the filthy muddy stream, coloured in the design of the ivory sky It follows the sun From morn to dusk. A slow dance in the wind In curved and a slender neck The only journey it will ever have . Purest of them all That rise from the water In a shape of a single drop Innocent, Yet tainted by words that need to collaborate I give you my name The name of all names. From my core The universe took form From deep with me The creator took his first breath
