Promises of the forest
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Like ladybirds in the sky
I feel my thoughts floating by
Dream catchers for fairy silphs
Clouds taunt in picturesque quilts
I know deep down the reasons for change
Like the seasonal moods we have to rearrange
Angels come to organise our days
Cleaning out cobwebs from the haze
Of lazy heat filled glaze
Pearing through each tender phase
