Today's word is "cognomen" ... kog-NOH-muh n ... any name, especially a nickname. a surname. (Dictionary.com)
Oh
What sort of name, what cognomen,
Can describe the light of truth?
The brightness of its dawning?
The end of death and mourning?
When we bow down in awe,
Compelled by presence absolute ...
Complete in graceful judgement,
How can we speak at all?
Yet this power who spun worlds,
And broke the barriers of sound and time,
Forgave all of our secret sin ...
Invites us now to call him "friend".
