Tears in the light
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
The light dimmed
as she faced her angelic brother
crying with empathy for one another.
Their thoughts synchronised.
They wiped each others face
then turned back into light
so that the love could hold them tight
in its pure embrace.
Their light shon deeper
into the remaining past
until they were lost
into candlelit prayer
