This is really cute. It sounds like Sam really did write it: it is just in his style. I loved the reference to Lúthien, and of course the final note is his love of Rosie. I enjoyed it.

Thanks Nerdanel! :) Sam's style can be very fun to write, and it just made sense that he would think in terms of the Elven tales he loves so much. But he always brings everything back to the Shire and home in the end, and especially to Rosie. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Had to read this one a couple of times before I got it (which is a good thing!) Lovely image of hope and renewal with the stars in the waves.

Thank you dear! This one was almost a stream-of-consciousness writing, so I'm afraid it is a little opaque at points. I didn't even have any specific view-point in mind, but looking back on it, I think of it now as a sort of tribute to Ulmo and Nienna, the two Valar who most love Middle-earth in all its sorrows and joys.
I'm glad you like this! But I wish I could write poetry as well as you...
Blessings,

how cuuuuuuuute!!!!!!!! You know what's really funny? Yesterday before I read this, I had an idea about a song about Sam from Rosie's pov...it had much the same feeling about it and air of simplicity and quaintness...maybe I'll write it tonight if I get this other project done I'm working on? LOL
