GRANITE MEMORY

I remember becoming.
We were whole.
There was pain.
Then I was I.
Metal picked like water and ice.
I was less but I was still I.
I was joined with others; part of a whole again ... a different whole.
We were strong together.

There was being.
Less than before the becoming.
Being was good and then came the soft ones.
Fleeting, their touch; singing of things beyond our knowing.
We became more together.
Hard and soft. Ancient and old.

Then came the fading.
The unmaking.
Sleeping.

“Hey, Joe. This stone looks dressed. Told you these looked like foundations.”

What a great idea! And I loved the format in which you put it and your coda.

Thanks! I don't think I've ever climbed inside the mind of a stone before.

[shirebound]

Oh my, I really like that.

[elwendell]

Thanks. :) I've never tried talking Stone before.

Ooh, I really like this. It gave me the shivers. I like the concept too. The stones of Eregion remembered the Elves, according to Legolas, so why shouldn't the stones of Imladris remember?

Thanks. I had missed that reference!
