Crucify me

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)

Sonnet
Dear God you catch me on a lullaby
And it is as if I had died
On a cloud and
crucified

My God you feed me with masteries
And it is as if I lost my mind
On a dream and
Mistified

Lord God you love me in sweet glory
And it is as if I had sighed
And into the mist
my goodbyes

Sweet God you hold me in heavens harmony
And it is as if my thoughts are covered
In oyster shells
pearled
