Awakening

Read Awakening

Before, there was nothing  
a grey mist of unawareness,  
of unlife
Nothing, until a gentle hand  
traced the outline of my face
and I knew love.
I opened my eyes and knew sight,
looking into blue eyes
and pale hair
falling around me.
I had been found
and there was life.

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.
