For Keiliss who asked for a reborn Glorfindel, preferably the one from the "Crumbling Walls" ficlets

On alien shores..
Again I stand on milk-white sands
but these lacks the crystal brilliance
of the land we left.

The sea behind me shines a clear azur
a far cry from the midnight darkness
of the western sea.

This land is different, shattered, torn
by wars long lost and lands long shifted,
what I knew is gone.

I came ashore, alone, unaided
on a ship with neither sail nor oar
manned by only me

On alien shores with death behind me,
a scholar turned warrior, an actor
with no part to play

*what I knew is gone.*

The aloneness of the reborn. You captured that so simply. The words gave me gooseflesh, as did the final lines.

Thank you so much for writing this for me, Uli dear. I love this Glorfindel so much - I hope to see more of him some day.

*hugs you*

Thank you :) I tried wrting this one a few times and almost scrapped this version as well (instead I left it 48 hours before lookinga t it again and deciding that with some cleanup it would probably be quite nice.)

I know you have a great weakness for this Glorfindel, so do I admittedly, and there will be more..some day...when the muses co operate

*hugs back*
