The name

Early in the morning after all said rituals
Before the moon disappears from the blue and fleece
Patiently waiting came out sounding
This name invoked by the minds to the stranger
Who has come to stay, the new born.

For the first time that
I heard this name that
I bear, seven days in darkness
I was kept, from that
Morning and evening golden rays.

A name after the heart of two
According to the dictates of the clan
Name them both male and female
The name which tells of a story
Retold by the clan and of two

Ever since have I heard
And seen many have their name
Pride and disown it;
Changing it on paper and
Adding others sometimes.

This name is called for a response
For a service and an aid,
In respect, when it’s called
For smiles to follow
Driving away our angry mood.

Name that is only remembered
By the pure in heart
And forgotten by those
On the narrow path
Away or rebelling against the source

This name rises high above all others,
A name that is called by other
Names; Superior to other
Names, mentioning other
Names in order to call it.

Name that invokes the almighty
That induces on him our will
That allows us to be his own
When not from Abraham's bowels
Yet allowed to be among his own

Name that in death like the bearer
Disappears into thin air
as he disappears into the bosom
Of the dear earth
Heavy or light to be lied on

The name that created all things
And has been since time memorial.
They met it, we too and so will they
The name which will stay with all other
Names even after death
