Analysis of As clear waters flow
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
She was a child when she first had the nightmares
Today the nightmares grow more frequent again even stare
Most often she feels herself falling
She hears Gods voice growing closer not further
Despite her temper sometimes for the latter
His voice says 'Wonderful' in the softest tone like a rose with a hint of sap sorrow.
He's happy when she's happy.
Sometimes she hears her son dreaming.
He says You're not sleeping.
