Pictures of Auron

Past -

Fragile
white web
net of bone
lattice of frost
moon's thread
fern of ash
lace of shell
twig of ice
flower of glass...
Close
continuing
smiles greeting
truth
answering eyes
hope
thoughts touching
all akin
concord
HOME.

Present -

Gone
crushed uncaring
ruin
shattered fragments
blasted
empty and echoing
broken
nil, nothing, numb
aching
coldly bleak
void
silent unanswering
dead
lost unfindable
Now, just an Alien,
ALONE.
