The Goddess Who Dove Through the Sapphire & Emerald Door
ONE
In an infinite, invisible, timeless space,
Creation Goddess journeyed silently,
looking for the planet where
the jewels she carried inside,
could awaken and come alive.
Creation Goddess wanted one thing,
and she wanted it so very much.
She wanted the jewels she carried inside,
to awaken and come alive.
She had promised herself
and the Radiant Beings
who traveled with her,
this would be so.
And she knew,
this would be so.
You see, the Goddess didn’t wander alone.
Radiant Beings traveled with her.
A Sky, a Sun, a Moon and Stars.
They wanted the same thing as the Goddess.
They had made the same promise,
to themselves and to each other.
And they followed Creation Goddess wherever she went.
One day, Creation Goddess came to a portal made of jewels.
The sapphire and emerald door leading into
the Magnificent Oceans of Earth.
Her hands reached through the colorless winds
of the infinite, invisible, timeless space,
till they were bathed in radiant, sapphire and emerald light,
and the Goddess knew,
This is the planet where the jewels we carry inside,
will awaken and come alive.
Creation Goddess dove through the sapphire and emerald door,
and the Radiant Beings followed her.
They spiraled down in a swirling descent
till they reached the Magnificent Oceans of Earth.
They breathed the magnificent waters in.
They surrendered to the sapphire and emerald flow.
All at once they became visible,
and found they had bodies. Visible jewels.
They celebrated their jewels,
swimming through the waters in bliss.
Creation Goddess saw sapphire and emerald mountains shining below.
She dove through the waters with the Radiant Beings.
They swam among the sparkling sapphire and emerald mountains.
They swam deeper and deeper and came to the bottom of the Sea.
The bottom of the Sea was lit up with
luminous, many-colored crystals and glowing shells.
The Goddess sat upon a crystal.
Sky, Sun, Moon and Stars sat around her, in a circle.
Then, they heard a sound.
It came from the center of the circle, beneath the floor of the Sea.
It was the sound of a heart beating.
It beat in rhythm with their hearts.
Suddenly, a smiling, round, Radiant Being appeared before them.
Her emerald hair swished upon the floor of the Sea,
and she laughed in joy.
She was Earth.
Earth opened her arms and began to dance.
She danced around the circle,
smiling at the Goddess, Sky, Sun, Moon and Stars.
She anointed them with jewels from the vast emerald fire of her heart.
She welcomed them with her love.
Then, Earth sat down in the circle.
As she sat, the waters around them swirled.
There before them appeared, another smiling, Radiant Being.
She had sapphire skin and was quite tall.
Her hair flowed in rivers of pearl and coral.
She was Sea.
Sea opened her arms and looked tenderly
at the Goddess and the other Radiant Beings.
Soft, sapphire and emerald waves caressed them as she spoke,
You are cherished children of the Oceans of Earth.
Your jewels are treasured here.
She enveloped them with her love.
Then, she sat down in the circle.
All the Radiant Beings closed their eyes.
