The giant grey roses.

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



Her soul gave her a dream
Of giant grey roses
And she shared it with the masses
As if legions of angels flew past
Sharing it with them through their chorus
And as god heard he looked down too
For he knew that it was of special a class
And it was like humanities eyes were
Blooming so very full and sassy
As it resonated slowly over time
Twas over as fast as haili gebrselassie
Then it was gone into bliss
If only it were running a never ending marathon
