Light of life
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Is it that your pain should be suffered in full?
Is it that your bed should remain below others?
Is it that your way out is only a way back?
Is it that you are only what you prepare for and let go when the work is complete.
If that is that?
What is it to get too fat? Or too thin?
Is it that you look within to behold what you are without?
Is it that what others see in you is true?
Is it that you know what to do?
