the greatest of goddesses of man,
she shined her light over all the land.
honest, playful, and terribly good,
she always tried to do the best she could.
then one day her brother, just for spite,
hurled a horse hide into her temple with might.
the hide – it did hit and kill
one of the maidens serving amateras’s will.
in grief at her brother’s prank she did bark,
and hid in a cave, making it dark.
to once again see her shining self,
the other gods planned to help.
they threw a party and just when
amateras came out, her light shone again.
and cast from the sky was her sibling
to ensure no repeats of this distressing thing.
