Page 5 Volume 1, Issue 2 Memories of a childhood ( #1 ) Grandpa was an old steamboat, stayed still and tall on the bay, let the waters run underneath. He took his silver hues from the moon, his wit from the sun. He left the waves of the seven seas, calms of the mermaids of the lakes, capricious curves of the rivers behind. Stayed still and tall on the bay, let the waters run underneath. The old willow tree by the river witnessed them all. He had many tales to tell; the tales of the seas, the tales of the lakes, the tales of the places the waters met the sky, The old willow tree by the river witnessed them all. He had many songs to sing; the songs of the mermaids, the songs of the seagulls, the songs of the icebergs, The old willow tree by the river witnessed them all. Now, the moon is not shining on him. The waters are not running underneath. The mermaids are not singing his songs. The seagulls are not circling around. He stays in a frame at the side of an old Russian samovar. They are both staying still and tall, fading away.
