The memories had almost faded.
Some were hidden away in the far corners of the heart.
Life had got used to their absence.
The lake was placid.
When a little stone hit it
A ripple in the peace
Grew to be a wave.
Even as the skies emptied its waters
The heart refreshed itself.
Hidden memories began to peep out, looked here and there and
Then surfaced in a surge
Once more faces, names and incidents came to the fore.
Suddenly everything was like before
Just like it always had been ........................
A few magical hours................................Which are rightly just so ours !
