Analysis of Waterfall
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
His hand fell down upon her head
As rocky was relationship
And down the dry fall from her eyes
On baby hip upon her eye
As fed the milk of calcium
Into their fall like bones
And bouncing off the hands and foot
There tiny waterfalls
And as the babe fell to the floor
His mother entered death
And soon there bones becomething
Upon a mountain bredth
To fall with elequent a white
Silk waters falling too
Like moonlight lit upon the wall
Into a mystic pool
For drinketh by a haven few
To understand moral they had grew
On witnessing the purest hue
A tree as fresh as lime could do
While cycling its feet free seed
To beg forgiveness and obtain
The others point of view
Afrom the light it emitted
To conscience between two
As deep debate did spark
An understanding they both knew
However long the mountain fell
Its own waterfall too
But remembered in the soul of rising angel falleth too into the heavens
Reversing the sinner
Pure as due
And fall did light again the path
A choice of 'true to you
As your bodies fall like waterfalls
Joining the battle too.
