Dancing like fire
In the cool winds
Flickering of lights
Prance from the sun
Painting the earth and sky
Flares of reds and oranges
Leap through the clouds
Dazzling ones eye
Auras of brilliance
Coloring Terra's life
Vibrance of reality
Author notes
It was something I saw in my minds eye. For those whom don't know the term "terra" here is some information about Terra
Terra or Tellus was a primeval Roman goddess, mother of Fama.
Her festival was held on April 15; it was called the Fordicia. Pregnant cows were sacrificed. January 24 to 26, the Sementivae in honor of Terra and Ceres. She was seen as the goddess of the earth, fertility, motherhood and pregnant women. She had a temple on the Forum Pacis, which was built in 268 BC.
Terra is also a name of the third planet in the Sol system, which is usually referred to as "Earth" instead. It was named after this goddess, in accordance to the general rule of naming planetary objects and satellites to Roman gods and goddesses.
Tellumo is the masculine form of Tellus.
Her Greek counterpart is Gaia.
