| Sea Longing - Sam and Legolas |
| They sit together, sharing silence. Side by side. Elf and hobbit. Tall, serene, the elf tilts his golden head as if listening to some distant song. Brooding eyes scan the water, committing each cresting wave to memory. Small, pensive, the hobbit draws a hitching breath, swallowing the grief that drowns his heart. Aging arms clutch each other against a chill that comes from within. Honeyed eyes glance up, meeting limpid pools. Inside each sees an echo of his own longing. Both are tormented by a yearning the years cannot erase. “Be comforted Samwise. One day we will both go home.” |
