Analysis of Token of the dove
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
You are the rose that roots within my heart
You are the bird that calls out to my soul
You are the night that fills my eyes with stars
Your lips kiss my eyes before I can even touch them
Your hands hold me by the soul
Your body dresses you with the softness of an angels wings
I wish I could fly into your arms
