What's in a Name?

What's in a name?
A name sometimes given,
sometimes wanted,
sometimes earned.
A name serves as an anchor
of who we are, bound as we are
to the gravity of this life.
The pace of our step, through
our time here, is matched by
our name: Our name that
we carry and carries us.
I think it strange and curious
that everything we do and
everything we don't is
an utterance of our name.
Our name is so singular to us
that it could very well be
our soul incarnate.
