Summary: Frodo finds peace at last




I don't own anything. It all belongs to JRR Tolkien.

Frodo could not get enough of the sea. Growing up in the Shire his dreams could never encompass it’s wide vista; its many moods.

When he longed for home he imagined white gulls carrying his thoughts to green fields and warm hearth. When anger filled his soul he screamed his pain to the storm, where crashing waves scoured him clean. When happy he danced along the water’s edge watching droplets catch the sunlight.

Finally, when peace filled his soul, he lay upon warm sand and closed his eyes, letting the rhythmic sound of waves lull him to his final sleep.

Just lovely and encompassing the many moods of both Frodo and the sea.

I live by the sea. There weren't enough words in a drabble to cover all it's wonderful moods. :)

This is the kind of healing I wanted for Frodo.

I like to think of him just drifting away, with a smile on his very wrinkled face.

Beautiful and sad. Frodo <3

My writing muse is my Finding Nemo seagull, so the mention of seagulls always makes me happy.

(Donut: *leans over Kaylee's shoulder* Mine?

I don't think you're one of those seagulls, Donut. *pets absently and gives goldfish cracker*

Donut: Mine! *noms*)

Hehe...he does tend to interrupt me. Sorry....

Awwwww. Poor sweet Frodo. What a way to go.

[elwenlj.livejournal.com]

A gentle way to go.

I can so see this, although in my-verse he rests the last time under the White Tree of Tol Eressea.

The sea as his comforter--yes, I can truly appreciate this!

Walking along the edge of the sea has soothed my soul many a time. I'm glad you gave him a peaceful end too.
