Comfort in Music

Ossë and Uinen rose from the Sea, looked down upon the sleeping Ringbearer there on the headland looking back toward Middle Earth.

He misses his land, his people, Uinen murmured.

Ossë nodded. He’s now alone. I’d ease his loneliness, if it’s allowed.

I shall help, offered Irmo.

The River-woman’s daughter sang from the Withywindle and the Old Forest. The Water, the Brandywine, and the stream that ran about the foot of the Hill sent greetings. Anduin and Rauros Falls added their greater songs.

In his dreams Frodo Baggins again walked throughout the Shire and the ways of Gondor he’d loved.

Oh my. I cried when I read this. So heartbreaking that he's alone and so sweet that they would provide him with such comfort. Yes, I know. I'm a soppy idiot. ;-)

Oh, but I'm obviously a soppy idiot, also, considering I was moved to write this! Thanks so!

Oh, I love this! I cried (and I see I'm not the only one!)

This made me cry. You have the most amazing power to bring me to tears. This made my heart ache with wonder and the feeling of love filling it. Thank you so much. <3

the stream that ran about the foot of the Hill sent greetings.

Oh my, how wonderful. I definitely believe the Powers kept Frodo in their hearts.

[blslarner.livejournal.com]

Yes, I think that they did always honor him for his dogged determination to fulfill his promise to the Council and to protect not only the Shire but the rest of Middle Earth as well.

It's comforting to think that they gave him hearts ease in his loneliness.

[blslarner.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they did what they could to comfort him when he needed it.

I always thought how lonely Frodo must be, so far away from all he has known, even if he is surrounded by beauty. I'm glad you chose to have the Powers try to ease his loneliness that way!

I'll admit it's not the first time I've had the Powers, both greater and lesser, seek to ease Frodo's loneliness. Thanks so!
