WHAT WAS Garama rivaled kingdoms and empires, Grand provinces and dynasties. It enticed, among many, poets of love And the lovers that inspired them To this, the oasis of all oases. Princess Fjefera remembered stories, Shared by her father, King Fjej-Gebril; Stories that painted a lushness of landscape, Of culture, and of her favorite: The tales of romance and passion and sweethearts. Her birthplace Garama, she had always been told, Was the true and loving Heart of the Universe. It certainly wasn't coincidence this beauty saw the first light of her life On the edge of a small village called Umm el-Kahl: "Mother of the Soul". "Fjefera", her dying mother whispered, "You are the Heart of this Heart." "When the time comes, you shall take what we know of love To the uncivilized among civilization, To the heartless of the known world." |
