Angels in the sun
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
The largest suns gravity pulled an asteroid in
Too big to be stopped by the atmosphere within
It broke planet after planet in two
Until it hit the largest sun and boared its way through
And the sunlight dimmed and it broke like a nut
Then a sun full of angels rose from the soot
They spoke to the Gods and helped those of earth
Then returned to the asteroids of their birth
As the debris brushed through their intense light
Sometimes they brought its consciousness to life
And so it was that they needed advice
After eons of sacrifice were thrown in a vice
As mankind struggled to bring themselves to light
It said evolving has always been but a fight for life
And so it was that the angels forgave
with a stronger renewal of heart to pave
Gathering their strength new souls were cemented
and returning to earth every man and woman repented.
