The heart of Aura Throbbing (夏女神之心跳)

The Greeks are polytheists. They have as many gods as there are things which touch their lives. If so, then there is little doubt that Aura, their goddess of summer, is now afoot amidst the trees and leaves and flowers and her heart now throbs with every summer breeze trembling with each leaf, each petal, each tender branch.

full of the passion of summer.

Yeah, the sun is good but you can't overdo it, man. I'm not a sunflower.

They nod in agreement.

Feeding time! 

I'm a kinda sun too!

But none can follow the sun forever

Whether we can or not, we certainly don't mind stepping up the floral catwalk.

But we need a bit of protection

It takes all kinda folks to make this world of ours interesting. 

We don't all need to be big burly fellas. 

 That takes up too much energy.

We like a tad of pink.

and we, a tad of purple

 

Unlike some people, though we're white, color prejudice is not in our veins.  We get along fine

Though we're yellow, we don't mind red. 

So hot! We gotta let our tongues out .

Our time will come.

We ain't got no problem with the sun. .
