Muted Symbols of Memory.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
There is a sense in silence
A sense somehow we know
Something driving memory
Not sight nor scent or tone
Explosions in the emptiness
Like pieces funnelling through
Sometimes they're creations
Pictures there that grew
Perhaps they overwhelm us
Then we cannot sit still
One day I will describe it
But I am rather I'll
I cannot take my mind of it
But inside I am brill'.
Jesus said describe it
And so I speak to you
I can't take my chair to heaven
But the angels walk me through.
