| The reasoning of a heart wounded by rejection, making rationalizations she will soon wonder at. Author Reply: Oh yes. We do tend to think rather strangely when we are in dark moods. Thankfully, she'll soon be brought out into the light again... | |

| Ohhhhh very dark and sad indeed......sounds almost like something I might write in my darker moods...when joy seems a candle that burns with a lovely soft light but can be whisked out with the merest breath, leaving everything dark and cold without a way to light it again....and if it IS lit again, is it ever really the same? Well, maybe.....could be.... Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning...(I forget which scripture that is) blessings & cheer Armariel~~~{~@ Author Reply: Oh dear. I hope I didn't depress you terribly! Actually, I wasn't even in a dark mood when I wrote this. If you want to know the real secret, we had to write poems for English class a while back about Ophelia, so I wrote this and claimed it was about her. ;) I just changed the first line to 'the White Lady of Denmark'. But I had Eowyn in mind the whole time. I'm dreadfully sneaky like that. :D Your image of the candle is astonishingly beautiful: it sounds almost like a poem itself. And no, I don't guess it would ever be the same if it were lit again: as Frodo might say, not the same, but something more, and greater. :) Well, I looked up that scripture, because it was driving me crazy that I couldn't remember it. ;) It's Psalm 30:5, and the whole psalm is wonderfully beautiful. "Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness" And of course that is exactly what happened for Eowyn: her candle was lit again, and she found that it was not the same, but greater and even more blessed. Hum, perhaps I should write a sequel. ;) Blessings, Eruanna | |
