Rings

I wept when he did not return from Feanaro’s treachery. I wept because he was now among the cursed. I wept because I thought Namo would never release him.

I stayed in his father’s house many years, the land and people I loved no longer held my heart. His father told me of his death, but I did not weep, my tears had already fallen, my grief already spent.

Now, word comes he has returned. Namo and the Valar have been kind.

I feel again the absence of his ring on my finger

I wish I had kept it.
