Names
Names and words,
Nothing and empty,
For there is no name
And no words
That can live
And find me in the rain
Names and names for us all
For we must be convinced purpose comes to call
Not by lords nor thieves unkind,
But by ourselves who live by the name
and die by the wind
Death by the sword there never was
For it was the name that came to us and drove us forth
Blind and unknowing into more unknowing
Dreams and names tell us of nothing
Tell me of something and I will laugh with you
When the time comes to hear the rain
Silence is not silence
Name is not name
There is only what there is
And everyone's ashamed
