This is utterly beautiful! "Daughter of he East wind" is so evocative, and I really love that it's from the earth's pov, and what an eloquent Earth it is! (I can imagine it as an earth-maia.) The imagery of her body blooming is lovely!

I love the idea that the land itself is a character just as vivid as the rest. You've given voice to NPCs, and painted this dangerous place so compassionately. I love the idea that Men become the land again -- a very fitting second life, even if JRRT envisioned something else. Such a beautifully written piece!
