    A Long Time Ago
    ... Who gives the Name...
    Was it mother who called me this Way?

    The love in her eyes as she cried and said a Name...
    Left it burned into my memory for all of Time.
    Compassion at cost is not a fair game, she said
    "... your eyes ...are his and you mine..."

    They never made up and the story not told
    Of how a Love was born in a summer of cold
    Dragon came and sang my name...
    A Long Time Ago.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
