[another thought about Princess Diana]
MOON WHERE IS OUR PRINCESS?
My spirit and myself
waited for moon to appear
for we had many questions to ask him
about Princess Diana
Moon, we are told, knows the answer to any question
Moon’s halo shimmered upon the eastern horizon of the world
Me and my spirit waited
like mountain lion waits the moment to strike
the alert deer in the open meadow
with moon brightly frosting the land silver
Moon journeyed silently nearby
we spoke saying,
“Moon, your heart knows of our sweet Princess
Tell us all that you know of her today
for our destines hesitate”
Moon looked upon us
ceasing his journey around the world saying,
“She is most precious
it is said she now dwells in the Greatest Circle
When your hearts weep and tingle in their wakefulness,
know this for all seasons
“Diana, the moon Goddess
causes my heart to tingle and weep also
for it has been said to me by Great Wonder
that there may never be another Princess for all seasons
“And I then will dwell
upon a lonely path around the world
around the sun,
around forever
around eternity
and around a greater greatness still, alone
weep for me also
for you have only lost a Princess
but I have lost my Love, my Princess and my Goddess
and have nothing more to worship with deep tenderness
Perhaps it is time for me to cease to shine.”
My spirit and I held moon close whispering,
“Moon, you shall not journey alone
for we shall travel with you around eternity
and in our wandering
we shall remember the blue flash in her eyes
when she turned away from the huge house-of-cold-stone,
her sparkle as she smiled upon the multitude,
her tenderness as her gaze met the lame and meek of the world,
and her dreams as she peered deep into the glitter of the universe.”
Moon wept with us as one aching heart
then continued to journey around eternity and forever
We,
hearts tingling with lonesome agony and a vast emptiness
followed moon,
coaxing him upon his terrified but necessary path.
