The Wait
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
my escape in the sunrise
my whisper of the devine
my echo in the peace
my tranquilities reach
my fleeting shine
my heart to pine
my elegance of breath
my walk throughout death
my teacher in the stars
my creator on par
my loves sweetest hold
my knowing so bold
