Analysis of Hand and sky

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



To touch your hand is to share my soul
To look at your smile is to make me feel whole
To see your life is to watch the sun unfold
To read your story is to witness eternity being told
Having your gift in my hand is to envelope the sky to hold
To kiss your cheek is to rekindle the fire in my lifeforce's shoal
To swim in your love is to breath sways and swirls of uplifting glow
