Analysis of Shallow into Shadow

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



Walk with me,
Your hand in mine.
Dark is the way
Your kind the day.
Our hearts beating
Exactly in time.
Caress my ear with
Knowledge a chime.
Shine your retinal
Image on mine.
Here to learn
Play your seminal.
Until I'm harked and done...
Legion, air and holy ones.
