My Heart Will Have Wings to Meet You There by Dreamflower

My very last Canon Couples dribble!

B2MeM Challenge: 2016 Memories; 2012 BINGO, "Canon Couples", N-33
Format: Poetry, Dribble
Genre: Romance
Rating: G
Warnings: n/a
Characters: Eärendil, Elwing
Pairings: Eärendil/Elwing
Creators' Notes (optional): I began some of these dribbles for the "Canon Couples" card in 2012, and decided to see how many more of them I could complete this year.
The title is a line from the song The Evening Star by Jon Anderson, which inspires this poem.
Summary: Elwing flies to her love.

My Heart Will Have Wings to Meet You There

Unexpectedly, I am lifted up, away from the wild waves
that crash and roar beneath me; I have wings!
But I cannot turn back to my sons;
may our enemies find mercy on them.
Forward then, to the Uttermost West
where my belovéd is bound.
May I find him
safe from harm!
Once more,
together.

Dreamflower, it was this entry on March 13th, if that helps: http://b2mem.livejournal.com/365969.html

Though it looks like you made slight changes? I've been enjoying your poetry, whichever version is your preferred one!

[dreamflower]

*facepalm* I quite forgot I had already posted it!

I'd been marking them off as I went, and this one had no X by it. But this is the preferred version, as I worked on the word count again before posting.

The first one was already good, but I like this version a little better too. "may our enemies find mercy on them" is a great line.

Well, I like it very much <3 I was just a bit confused since it was already up, but I like this updated version and you know how much I adore Earendil and Elwing! :)
