Analysis of The black and white star
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
I'll love you beyond death where as a planet we are black outwardly and white within.
With the sun we are white and black and white outwardly.
Without the sun we are black and white with Gods light.
When we turn into space we are black.
We are Gods white light outwardly and within we are whatever colour God chooses.
So remember all colours are in black and all colours are in white.
But what if there is no colour at all beyond what eyes can see?
