' WAITING' - ETCHING/AQUATINT
Featured in the Fine Arts Influenced by Literature Group
I SIT AND GAZE A WHILE….....
Oh but to sit and gaze a while and think of you
and how……….....
and then………....
and then………....
to gaze a while and think of you
but this is now
and you’re not here
you are there
But I gaze a while and
think of you
of how it was, it is now not..
written by Annette Hagger
