Ausa

(Apparition – Quenya)

Big, soft ripples of the waves subsided as they swayed toward the riverbank, carrying along with them a graceful flutter of velvety curls, a gentle wink from one incandescent blue eye, and a loving smile on full, cherry lips. A pair of pale-skinned hands extended as though to stop the apparitions from fading away, trembling slightly as they halted in the air and pulled back. A brace of blue eyes, darkened with grief, followed the hands as they rested on their owner’s laps. Two thick drops of tears escaped the confinement of long lashes surrounding the most captivating eyes and surrendered to the gravity, plummeting into the earth only to dash onto the ever-quivering hands.
