Analysis of A night in the stars
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Glimmering floor in glimmering air
The stars are out everywhere
In the light I touched your hair
And love was scattered everywhere
Everyone saw how beautiful - your smile
Elegant as a gift perfectly boxed up for a while
Then opened with ease to a hand so gentle
A glitter globe of us holding each other
Hips popped like bubbles of champagne laughter
Here-ever I'd marry you and swerve our hearts disaster
Magician in the stars you are my grand master
