XXVIII.  Cue:  Favorite Month - April

Spring of Memories

            The King led his Queen through the site where the Army of the West had rested at Cormallen.  “The healers’ tents were there, and the pavilions set for the captains and lords of the host here.  And the Ringbearers were housed apart, in this grove of beeches.  All worried that they might not waken again.  But it was a year ago today they did so.”

            They looked down.  Within the grove athelas was growing in profusion.  “Only when they awoke did we feel for certain that the spring was indeed come.”

            The wonder of it still shone in his eyes.
