Shortly before I went to Nashville to meet Wanda for the first time, I wrote the poem "Someday", which can be found here. When I returned, I wrote the following reminiscence:

At last...

A trip through the Delta, in visions and scents
On a three-day long dream coming true
Past Cascading falls, and flowers so dense
and fountains reminding of you

From sweet chocolate kisses and intimate hugs
To a high-speed holding of hands
An intoxication much stronger than drugs -
A deep breath of lavendar strands

At last I have basked in the warmth of a smile
with the power to lighten a heart
I have now felt the love that I sought 'cross the miles
that slipped into my soul like a dart

At last, I have gazed into wide crystal pools
and seen the reflection of love
And found passion so strong it transcends all the rules
in all that I've ever known of

This, my sweet love, was my one fondest hope
Though reality did not agree
For the joy that I feel is beyond any scope
But your love, my dear love, set me free
