~*~

The night wheels away and in the east the Sun strikes golden upon the world. I heed it not, having no use for the sun. You are my sun. The sound of your breath, my song, the warmth of your hand held in mine, my succor, the sight of you, my drink, and I need no other.

Throughout the deep night I held to you, my light, my beacon fire, drawing me ever near. You burn and so you guide me, now and always. Burn for me now, my light, and open your eyes.

Burn for me.

Blind my fear.

I particularly like the impact of the last two lines against the flow of the first two paragraphs - very emotional. Thank you very much.

Thanks so much. I happy to hear the emoitonal content of this came through for you. Thanks for reading!

Wow! You make these seem so effortless! Very skilful writing.

Those last two lines certainly pack a punch!

Thank you! I'm happy that you enjoyed this. That last line was actually changed at the last moment, I'm glad it resonated with you. Thanks for reading!

Thank you! I've always loved the notion of Boromir as being Aragorn's 'sun', or his guiding light, and I'm guilty of using this image several times, but I never get tired of the idea. Thanks for reading!

Beautiful. Not only is it gorgeous language-wise, but in that very last line, Aragorn's fear is absolutely palpable. I actually felt scared for him. ♥

Thanks so much! I'm so glad you've enjoyed this, and that the emotion was carried to you so clearly. Those last line/s actually were going to read 'burn for me', 'return to me' as a repetition of the earlier drabble's 'return to me' but just as I went to post, I changed it. I'm glad the change seemed to work so well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and letting me know you enjoyed, ;)

You use the words so very beautifully - almost like poetry while being thoughts.

It feels so mellow, almost as if we're sharing in the golden world with them . . .

Once again the last two lines contain what could be read as a plea or a command, but this time there is more of a sense of how much Aragorn needs him to return - and how much the night watch has taken out of him.

Thanks so much for your kind feedback. I'm really pleased that Aragorn's emotional state, his need, came across so clearly. Thanks for reading, ;)
