b2memB2MeM Prompt and Category: Daily Prompt - 4 March. Lost, what most I long for, And never to be found, Between the lake water and the sea water I walk without sound. (Rosemary Dobson, “The Lost”)
Format:Drabble
Genre:Gen
Rating:Gen
Warnings:None

Pairings:None
Creator’s Notes (optional):It all belongs to Tolkien.
Summary:Elrond muses upon power
POWER FOUND. POWER LOST.
Elrond once believed, had he the power, he may fix the ills of Middle earth. Imladris was a step; a refuge and repository for knowledge and beauty. With Vilya, came the yearned-for power, but he used it to weave walls of air to enclose; hoarding power close. That's when he realised that power never satisfied, only produced a craving for more.
Then came Celebrian and three beautiful children, revealing life's true power, love, that grew when given away.
Newly naked hand bore testament that Elrond's greatest loss, was the presence of those he loved. Power, he consigned to the waves.
END
