Analysis of Their stars
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Though invisible to see
All the stars had turned to energy
And the orbs so colourfully
Danced around a grey imagery
Lightning spread its carpentary
On a galaxy of sacredary
The energy screamed, and harked and sang
While a God skated every strand
Etching a blueprint with every footprint.
