Awakening by ford_of_bruinen

This is a very subtle and lovely poem. You captured the moment of crossing the line between nothingness and existence really well. I like the idea of waking up to life and love very much. Nicely done.

I love the different feelings your character is experiencing here, varying between feeling enshrouded in that grey mist, to being touched with love and then the awakening. When I read this, I thought that it was Eru himself waking up one of the elves, but it was her partner. But then later I realised this could also be a young babe being brought into life by one of her parents. I also likee the balance and pacing of this poem, which gives the reader much thought to interpret their own way, if you don't know who the characters are.
