Analysis of Gloss
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Her mind glossed over
The news seemed so fast
As the battle was dimming
Her hold could not grasp
So she loosened her hold
On the one person left
After eighty four years
They had lost their last breaths
And they ushered around her
To calm what they could
But for all of their trying
Nothing else would
So it was that was written
And they entered the gates
Together in mourning
Together soulmates
