Back to BlogThe little princess knew she was going to die.
It was spring at her place.
The sea was shining silver blue
and the wildflowers were blooming in the plain.
The time of death had arrived.
The little princess was not scared of death.
The little princess was scared of her nakedness.
She had lost the sapphire ring
The Great Spirit would not recognize
princess Eftha.
And Eftha would be lost to infinity.
A star with no destination.
A star with no identity.
A star without a FATHER.
Death separated the body of Eftha.
from the soul.
And Eftha was hurled.
in a nebula of light
longing for her ring…
The desire of Eftha
burdened the universe
and the nebula
knelt on the earth.
A baby was born
in the sheep yard
and the baby
had the soul of Eftha.
Eftha became a shepherdess.
And Eftha loved the shepherds.
The Princess
loved the humble world
of the shepherds.
Eftha the princess
rolled into the grass
shivered in winter’s cold,
burned in the summer heat.
She loved the sheep,
She loved the sea.
Desire has gravity.
Desire is a compass.
Desire magnetizes the bodies
in the ether
and drives them blind.
Eftha’s desire
led her
in the rubble of the past.
With her claws and human members
Eftha searched
the stone hills
and as the stones rolled
and her hands bled
the ring appeared
waiting for her through the centuries.
The Golden Nebula
was elevated from the back of the earth
and Eftha’s soul
was separated from her body.
The sapphire ring
illuminated them with its silver blue light.
and was taken to infinity.
The Great Spirit
recognized the soul of Eftha
from her rare lighting.
He ordered her to shine.
on the firmament
fulfilment of her desire
and his Love.
