New Challenge: Allusive
Literature and art constantly refer back to each other using allusions, and this month's prompts are inspired by allusions to literature, myth, art, and history.
Voronwë on the shore. For the prompts:
night, risk, old, fate and
I stand amid the roar of a surf-tormented shore
I sit between land and sea,
cast against this wall by a vast wave.
The long dark night of storms is over
and I am back where I was born,
Still young in years, yet old with weariness and loss.
For I have been saved from Ossë's wrath
But all my friends are gone.
The risk was too great,
for the sake of bright stars and a glimpse of cloudy maybe-mountains.
There is now no way West
and I know not where I should go.
But then, I turn from the Sea, and see him
And I feel my fate.
