Lightening God on the Sapphire Lake

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



The lightening God spun energy
 to life on the sapphire lake.
He looked beneath the waves
To the fish he was to make.
But he saw the lady goddess that he was to forsake.
Who said I am creator here in this very lake.
God said but I have fish beyond your simple vision's sake.
She said this lake is perfect and does not need collision's fake.
God said without collision none of them will know they die.
She said no there is no death here not in my inner eye.
