Grains of Wheat  by Eruanna 6 Review(s)

You had to do it--make me cry. No, I, too, wasn't surprised to learn one finger was missing from that hand. And I can certainly see Frodo coming to a place he once loved to counsel the one he loved as a daughter himself.

Author Reply: I didn't mean to make you cry, I promise! Though I hope at least they were good tears, and touched by no bitterness, as Tolkien would say. I'm glad you enjoyed this, and thank you for the lovely comment!

Blessings,

O... my goodness! How lovely!

'Then wondering I took his hand
and marveled not to find
that there were only four fingers
with my own five entwined.'

I just *love* poetry, and this was simply beautiful. Just wonderful job with this here.

Author Reply: I almost can't claim credit for this one, because it literally came in a flash of inspiration and demanded to be written down. ;) I'm so glad you enjoyed this, and thank you for such a kind review!

Beautiful...very William Blake, could be a Song of Innocence maybe? :D

See there, your muse isn't gone...my best friend just the other day said hers was nearly gone too, and today she showed me some beautiful art she made, she quite outdid herself.....guess there's a lesson of some sort there? I'm waiting for mine to reappear also *g*

blessings & cheer

Author Reply: Thank you dear! :) I've discovered lately that my muse has a bad habit of popping up when I really need to be working on papers and studying for final exams. *sigh* I certainly hope yours reappears soon! ;)

I'm all weepy! This is absolutely beautiful. I especially love this...

Deep love it is that takes the weight
that others fear to bear,
and lights anew the darkened sky
and makes all sorrows fair.

Author Reply: Oh, don't cry! Though I confess, I got a little weepy myself just typing it. ;) Our dear Frodo does have a way of talking about himself without even realizing it. Here, he thinks he's just talking about the virtue of sacrificial love in general, and he is. But Elanor knows now that she's talking with someone who's made himself the very embodiment of that love.

I'm so glad you liked this. I'm always honored by any comment from you. :)
