I like that a lot. It also complements your Rian in Gondolin story really well. I guess that was actually written after the poem then, although posted before it?

The connection backward to the story of the sun and moon and forwards to Earendil through Tuor really works for me.

It seems an excellent song for Rian to sing at this point.

Thank you very much! I'm glad they work well together. I'm very bad at finishing things, but when I have a WIP that's unfinished or I'm not satisfied with, I tend to keep circling back to the same ideas and themes from other angles. This poem was basically written back in April -- I rewrote some of the lines but all the concepts were there. And writing the Rian in Gondolin fic made me think of going back to the poem.

Thank you, I'm glad those things work!
