Namibian Girl Part # 1 She is a Goddess in control of her own destiny. She sits motionless, watching, waiting, her legs folded beneath her….her naked skin exposed to the cold. As the sun’s power rises up, devouring the stars across the wide horizon. In a single fluid motion she stands… her back to the sun. She looks out over the land, barren and stark. She sees him. In a crowd…but alone. He looks up, his silver hair catching the early sun and glowing like flowing mercury. He smiles. She steps from her podium…walks towards him, her bright eyes, never blinking, fixed on his face. As she crosses the land everything changes before her. The stones turn to soft lush grass, with bright flowers, and trees cast shadows, cool and inviting beneath the new sun. She walks with him…sometimes beside him…sometimes slightly behind, as he passes through the people…men and women alike…greeting them, touching them and respecting their friendship. Suddenly she stops and watches, as he reaches out and grasps a hand……and he walks away with her…with a human. As she watches him move away she sees the flowers dying…the grass turns to stone and the trees fall…splintering as they crash down. She looks up…directly into the sun, and she watches it disintegrate…explode. Time stands still…..darkness prevails. Namibian Girl Part # 2 Future stars push small pinpricks of light through the total darkness. As they multiply they start to move towards each other, gathering pace and intensity. In a flash they collide…bonding as one…a new sun is born and her life begins afresh. He is elusive…here today but not tomorrow. He appears suddenly, and disappears equally quickly. She waits, her heart aflutter, every day, until she sees his face, his smile. They talk…they share…they learn. There are questions and answers.. there are long letters and short ‘hellos’. And each day she gives him her heart…but knowing always that he cannot accept it. Life is fun. They share with friends. They laugh always and even compete sometimes. Their respect grows and they delight in the bond that they share. Others look upon them…some with joy and respect…some with envy and some with jealousy. Many see her beauty and her intelligence and they try to take her from him…but she stands against them…solid and steadfast, but always with compassion and thoughtfulness. Many lust for his attention and he shares with them his humor and wit and wisdom. But he has chosen his friends wisely and they stand behind his boundaries and respect his status. The day is long and the sun shines brightly throughout. The flowers blossom and all life appears to thrive and prosper. But as the mantra of life dictates….the sun will set once more. In the darkness of night there will be sadness and tears. The night will be long and lonely. His heart is in another land and he must return there. He takes with him lasting memories of friendships formed. So many of them brief and exciting, but so many of them strong and real…even in this fantasy land. He takes with him a treasure of life…Namibian Girl.
