Summary: Galadriel longs for the West.

The deep silence of the night vaults to the skies above. Perhaps she should be coy, not queenly, now that her test is passed and she yet longs to return, for a lapse of the unblinking stars to become the eyes of her beloved.

A breeze rustles through the top of the mallorn. Standing, hands uplifted, on its highest bough, she feels very small, in white under the sky, star-like herself, as though she has quit Middle-earth already, as though the wide sea did not stay her from reaching Aman and being gathered and gifted into Varda's arms once more.

Lovely. It's a relief to know that she will return eventually, because the longing here feels so real.

This was lyrical. I must admit to rarely thinking of Galadriel with sea longing since she fought so hard to leave Valinor, but you express the desire to return beautifully.
