On one soft morning, the town of Hill spring woke with gentle light drifting over roofs; birds sung from thin twigs, sending melodic notes into crisp mist. Emily, with her small notebook, moved down the stone street slowly, noting little motions of life: kids moving hurriedly to school, dogs sniffing ground for some hidden scent, old folks sitting on porches with mugs of hot drink. The town itself felt like it lived in its own rhythm; simple, yet holding some hidden depth. Emily loved writing; every little moment to her held some story, some form of secret link. "Life," she often wrote, "is more poetic when one keeps eyes open." She met her friend Simon by the fountain, its water dripping in soft circles. Simon, with his silly grin, often brought humour, telling stories of his job in the mill; stories with more comedy. Emily enjoyed his spirit; it filled her with relief, for she often drifted into deep, serious reflection. On this morning, Simon held in his pocket something shining. He whispered, "Come with me; I will show you something different." Emily, curious, followed him through crooked streets, then into green fields where wild blooms stood high. The sun by now lifted, coloring the field in gold. "Here," Simon spoke, "is my secret spot; I come to think, to rest, to find life’s little notes." He pulled out the shining object: it stood, in truth, not precious, only simple piece of broken mirror. Yet, when held up, it bent light, reflecting sky, bloom, their own smiling selves. Emily looked in it; the mirror felt like it multiplied the world. She wrote in her book: "Reflection is not simply sight; it is memory of self, memory of time, memory of moments we miss." Simon chuckled: "You write too deep; yet, I like it." The field held them for long; breezes moved, leaves rustled, little insects hummed in soft rhythm. It felt timeless. The world outside; the jobs, the duties, the troubles felt lost. Only this: two friends, their mirror, their notes, their simple smiles. Emily knew she would record it with gentle style; some lines, some words, but not complete keeping the memory living only in her. By dusk, they moved back; the town lights flicked on, smoke from chimney tops curled into dim sky. Simon left her by her home, promising, "Tomorrow; more stories, more reflection." Emily, with content in her spirit, wrote one more line: "Friendship is not only comfort; it is mirror showing us light, even if life grows dim." She shut her book; the night hummed with its own music, the moon pulling over roof edges like silver ribbon. In the stillness, Emily felt her world richer, not from money, not from success, but from these little gifts; the secret field, the broken mirror, the friend who knew how to lift spirit. Life, she knew, will bring storm, yet she will hold this soft memory, shining quietly in her soul.
