Writings from Emile Waite:
Recollections at a ponds edge.
Aegean
Last Night, I lay awake remembering.....
how it was.....
to walk hand-in-hand
by the edge of the beautiful blue sea.
Of a time long past,
our ship,
with sails and oars at rest.
Our steps upon
the marbled way of Sacred Delos.
The golden sky, slowly darkened
and the stars came out,
softly we spoke.....
as we danced and we dined,
by the edge of the beautiful blue Aegean Sea.
Remembering,
how it was.....
as we danced and dined,
by the edge of the beautiful blue sea.
