I asked him to tell me
The name he would trace
In the white pebble he would
Place in your hand...
I suggested "Innocence"
"Purchased"
"Petals" maybe?
"Faithful companion?"
"Courage?" "Nurturer?"
He leaned and whispered
the perfect name
Smiled, and with finger to
temple
Left me with the memory
Of having once known
Your secret name

Beautiful, this has a softness to it that I can't quite explain, but I enjoyed reading it.
Thank you for writing this.
