What Is In a Name

What is in a Name ! ? ----------------------- I have been walking the hallways of, and have to say, " this has been one long and very Blue Monday. " I think of the Beauty in your name Xiao Ling. - ( Xiao, meaning the dawning - dawn of a beautiful day ) ( Ling meaning the exquisite - a lovely voice to sing ) - of all that is beautiful, exotic and good. This day, I seem unable to see - but if only I could leave these blinding Blues behind. If only I might be able to find among - a little peace of mind ! If only my thoughts, my words, would bring forth all the beauty in you - that comes with your name. I feel the innocence in the dawn, the twilight of your days. I love all I see, I feel in your funny little ways. When I look into your soul, I see of coarse, not one - like so many - who plays the game . What lies hidden inside morning drops of dew, refract into rainbows from the hiding place within you and my Blues dissipate, true light comes into view and my sad world becomes a place beautiful and new.
