Sacred Space

| How can someone else bear the name
that sends my heart aflutter, the name that can belong only to her? That name conjures the image that embellishes for ever the matrix of my soul, the image that none can ever replace. Her name embodies her whole self, her sights, smells, and sounds her traits, tastes and tenderness, her velleity, her vision. A rose is a rose is a rose, let no other flower be called a rose nor no rose bear a name other than rose no matter what the bard may say. When uttered, her name, like a mantra, throws up a space, her reverent space, that allows no infringement that bears no encroachment. I carry that sacred space with me wherever I be for there she reigns, my supreme deity. |
