The Runner.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
She saw the growing light,
An angel at her heels,
Her head like train horn bells
To her hide she steels
Fear nought for their pure harks
Would surely find another
More worthy of the judgements
Of deity above there
And so she ran more than
Any soul before her
Until the earths decline
Her fortitude desheveled
Finally to meet the devine.
About this poem
Avoiding judgement.
