'Era of Reality'
'Rerum'

Rerum was the Era of the Actuality, the time of glaciers and growth that followed the creation of the planet that would be called Cor'Terrae.
Section I  succession of incredibly, harsh, ice ages pass and return, covering the lands and seas with ice.
Section II Plate tectonics cause land pieces to rift apart and continents to drift across the world.
Section III Shrub and coral reefs appear as both sprouts and fruit continue to diversify, spreading across the planet.
Section IV As the world grows with wilderness, The Divine of Nature emerges, blessing flora and fauna both.
Section V The Divine of Nature would become the 'female' personification of the planet itself, named by the Dreamer, 'co-creator of the world.'
Section VI Rays, Sharks, Mammals, Birds, and Reptiles evolve and grow, as the trees, and flowering plants adapt to the geography, and climates of the planet.
Section VII In delight at all of creation, the Dreamer expresses it's joy, and from the Dreamer's gaiety and celebration, the Divine of Joy emerges.

Reefs and corals bloom,
in harbor-mouths and,
continents unknown.

Grit on the grinding beaches,
a storm ridden wave crashes,
with light breaking the surface,
through the deepest darkness.

Flowers born of rock and sand,
blossoms with budding life rising,
grown by minerals all around.

             IV

First the roots grew underground,
new budding flowers did they fount,
with leaves and fruits of abundance,
trees cascaded their petals all around.

The whole world comes alive,
filled with scents and colors,
green pavilions encircling far,
a scene drifting through mists.
Spirit of Tame-less Harmony.

Enayla Eelm
Oh, Flora and Fauna,
The seed we are to sow you have given us,
as each season depends upon your jubilation.
You who will always be a haven for beast and kin,
The forest's breath is your whisper and bountiful gifts.

Winding, you will run through shrub and bramble,
Come to me, says the Huntress, lose yourself in me.

             V

A promise would be given by the Elder Elm,
"I will be your voice upon the world's plain."
The Dreamer would then call out to its children,
"Co-Creator, this Divine will become!"

With life's first spark on the world,
that inspires the organic scheme,
The Dreamer protects the spirit,
and the Divine of Nature the frame.

The Divine of Land and Life,
is known to be both fierce and kind.
A child of the Dreamer they will remain,
yet too-equal, they a joint creator of the terrene.

When the Dreamer sleeps deeply,
beneath the sphere's molten crust alone.
When no direct contact is possible,
between the Heart and its world.
Trusted, Nature will Rule the Realm.

             VI

Adjusting, and adapting,
replicating, and dividing,
regenerating, and growing,
living all at rapid pace.

Deep seas of Rays and Sharks,
swim freely to their own tune.
On Land, Mammals and Birds,
flutter wings, and perform.

Chirps sound from all direction,
the Dreamer is filled with jubilation.
Sweet are the Fruits that trees bear,
Green is the Grass, the land may wear.

Beautiful is the smile,
That catches every glimpse.
How blessed is the blossom,
that laughs with every breath.

             VII

In delight of all creation,
was there gaiety, and celebration.
The Dreamer desired to express,
all the mirth, and grace not lost hence.

Incarnation of grace and excitement,
Strumming on the heartstrings of the masses.
Of pleasant moments, and good will to all,
Whimsical Mistress of Revels and Jubilation.

You, the Protector of Youth.
I pray for Happiness!
I pray for Theatre!
I pray for Song!
May creativity flow ever from you,
without a moment's ceasing glance.

Let me hear the rich music of your voice,
Let me embody the Joy-bringer's spirited dance.

Thus ended the Era of Reality.
