This is beautiful, Jan. It's got more of the sweet than the bitter in it--more joy at the memory of time spent in good company than sadness at the loss--what a wonderful place to be and so glad Frodo has found it in contemplation of his beloved mentor/parent.
I love the phrase "moon-graced night."
This is a poem I will try to keep with me--a lesson in how to move past grief through gratitude for the time you had with the lost one.
Alan Lee is good at evoking this feeling, Mechtild--a sadness with more joy in it.
