The Lake

I have this fascination with lakes…..

They remind of  life that is  pure, dreamy and whimsical……….

The Swan Lake ~ Tchaikovsky

My personal favorite….

A Masterpiece in my books……

This piece is so beautiful that it brings out the child in me… Powerful music nonetheless……and I never get tired of it…

As a child I remember having a key ring which had a tiny music box attached to it…I don’t remember the tune on it….but I know I loved it……it belonged to my Aunt……I bet she doesn’t remember ever having one…

You could turn the little copper key and it made a beautiful sound that would fascinate this child for hours….How I wish I could remember the tune …..I hate and regret the  fact I lost something, that I know now I would have cherished……A piece of my childhood ……. fragment of  my memory…….

I  still collect music boxes…..as an act of repentance……I have a couple…. and I know I could never trade them for anything in this world….

My friend sent her mum something like a music box….. I remember the tune distinctly it had the swan lake on it……. it was beautiful…………how badly I wished I had it…..

I have searched in vain for that swan lake music box……..yet to find one….

I still walk around market places searching quaint little second-hand shops in the hope that one day I will find a swan lake music box ….

One day……..
