Analysis of Scattered Wings
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
A voice in the distance
From long long ago
A cry from an angel
For the right way to go
To whom she did not listen
So shattered were her wings
And onwards she wandered deeper into things
Things of non love and inforgivence
Until she slept deep in the darkest of grievance
Where a single white feather was placed upon the soul of her heart
