Shattered eyes

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)

Rhymed
When God looks in a mirror,
How many mirrors does he see?
Yours, mine,
Or all the mirrors, in eternity?

When God sees a heart,
How many hearts does he see?
Yours, mine, or only one?
One heart! That is free!?

When God feels the air,
How many airs does he breath?
Yours, heavens, or a macrocosm
That we have yet to weave?

When God leads a debate
How many debates does he argue?
Yours, mine, the microcosm
Or are they all and none of value?
