Analysis of Dawn love.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Calm was the passion
Soft was the thought
Often they woke
In the arms of the other
Light was their love
Fresh as the breeze
Each word they spoke
Put the other at ease
Gentle was their heart
Healthy and new
Like robins and wrens
They drew your eyes to...
A love so supreme
It ruled above all
Beyond all lifetimes
A family tree tall
Magestic their gestures
Inate as the dawn
But their mind alone
Was a rising of the morn.
