The Name Which Is Wisdom

it was long ago
  when time never
noticed us --
that our love
  was birth
outside of thought;
  by magical winds
by  tragic whims
by all that is 
Birth,
And now:  time is
begging something
 called "age"
which by love is
a flower born
a child grown
a word worn
 the name which
is wisdom.
