SILVER HIGHWAY

Frodo quickly grew to love the sea. In all weathers he would walk the cliffs or stroll along the sand, cooling his toes within arcing wavelets. Its wild storms overwhelmed, dragging him from introspection to sweep away remaining nightmare. In calmer mood, it soothed, dissolving his pain like a gentle mother's kiss.

The changing colours fascinated; deep green to leaden grey and stormy brown to sapphire blue. But he liked it best when summer sun tipped each wave, to form a sparkling silver highway from West to East. Then he shaded his eyes for white sails and faithful Sam.

Best friends forever, that's Frodo and Samwise. One day his hopes will be realized and those white sails will be there for him. A lovely drabble.

Your imagery is wonderful -- "arcing wavelets", how lovely. And someday he'll shade his eyes and see the ship for which he's waiting.

This is so lovely! I especially like that silver highway that will hopefully bring Sam to him soon.
