Analysis of Shrine of the dove
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
If a doves wing was the sunset I would wait up all night to hear it call my name
Each droplet in my breath quenches my body as if it were the last flower on earth. This is how much I love you.
All my life I have known through my life's eyes and now I strive to know through yours.
