A poem about finding deeper meaning within a name.

Namesake
A length of ash
small and innocuous
Holding connections
like a weaver’s beam
A meadow of ash
a neighbor to humans
Building bonds
throughout time
A loom of ash
strong and steady
Sacred, bright cloths
each design divine
A spear of ash
true in its reach
Guided with intent
sure in its goal
May I be like these
purposeful and skilled,
building connections.
Lady of the deft hand,
weave me,
shape me.
