Not like then
Choppy waters
Dipping through the
Bay of Biscay
Gliding through Egypt's
Manmade waterway
Sandy banks flanking
The Suez Canal
On towards Aden
Colonial territory
Women in purdah
Duty free Chanel
It's peaceful now
Gently steaming
Between lush green
Serene rolling hills

The journey of the waters...oh the souls that have traveled through it's waves...oh the stories they could tell. This is lovely Bee!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I did that sail from Southampton to Singapore and back in the 50s. Parts are stuck in my memory even though I was very young.
