Frodo's Remembrance of Gollum
- jan-u-wine
It would be good,
it would comfort me
to waken
from strange,
dark-hued
imaginings
and believe
that it had all
been a dream.
Like looking
through
the slender,
distant curtain
of a water-fall,
I see myself
and you.
You
hated It.
As did I.
You
loved
It.
My heart stops:
as
did
I.
There are some
moments
which mean more
than a life-time of
words:
what were your thoughts
in that
final
moment?
Did you know
I wished
to take your hand?
Did you know
almost,
I wished
to go
with you?
(for one should never
make
such a journey
alone)
Did you know,
as you
stumbled
and fell,
I saw
peace
at last
in your eyes
and you knew...
you
knew
who you were.
I will remember
always
who
you
were.
