Draw simple pleasure from understanding

if it has a name, let it be your friend,

and receive the camaraderie of the world

for even nothing has a name.

stars of orion, sirius, and then

words of wisdom

history’s strange and distant friends

past mistakes to guide our future

graceful words to bind the suture 

so in closing I have something to say

a final verse before I away

something new and old, and whose context is mine to say

my moment’s name, my lifelong frame

Hello, the most beautiful word I know.
