Childhood Reflection of Time Past in oil on canvas

by AV Rotor, circa 1980

It is on pristine still water

On the face of a wide blue sky,

Climbing on trees and rocks up high

That we see ourselves in the hands of time;

Through the mist we see children

Of many years back with Mark Twain's

Huckleberry Finn and company

On a meandering river to the sea.

Who is fishing there? Ahoy!

Only the tingling chime answers;

The childhood in us throbs, throbs

With the sweet music of time past. ~
