Analysis of Jesus and the moon
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Jesus landed his feet upon the mystic moon
And laid his footsteps clear in the sands of dune
Like patterns making tune
And held the grains between his hands
And threw a rock of two
Then wrote a message to god the father
To love him this day through
