A Name

Sometimes old stories have it right
There’s such great power in a name
to draw out a reaction
and trigger much emotion
Maybe a moment of reflection
upon the times that came before
Perhaps a flinch or frown
at something better left forgotten
Or the possibility
of falling tears of joy or sadness
endless combinations
small wonders sprung from something simple
What’s in a name?
Why, everything and nothing
all at once
