That was a wonderful comment. I am honoured by your words. I am delighted you liked the imagery and the moths and everything. Thanks for letting me know :)

As gentle a preparation for his inevitable departure as there could be. And he is not alone as he goes.

Love the acceptance of Barahir's awareness, and the reassurance that what the youth perceives is benign and as it should be. And love the memories of Eowyn.

I am so glad you like the different parts of this story. Faramir finds what's happening unsettling, but there is love behind these dreams, even if it is uncertain who is dreaming who.
Thanks for reading and commenting!

Such lovely phrasing, too many examples to quote. Love the almost drifting feel of the narrative, the whispery sense of the garden filled with memories, traces of personalities, something slightly otherwordly but gently welcoming as well. The recurrent theme of the dream and the subtle changes that lead to the final repeat work perfectly to thread the whole together. And oh, such a wonderful picture of Eowyn.

I read it as a tale of light and dark, of family and love and the way these things intwrtwine, and I will come back and read it again.

I read it as a tale of light and dark, of family and love and the way these things intertwine.
That was a lovely way to sum up the story. And I am absolutely delighted that you want to read it again.
I have also posted it on my journal, with some images added to it.
Thanks for reading and commenting.

As the challenge was"uncanny" I tried to make it as uncanny as possible. I am delighted that you enjoyed this dreamy tale.
Thanks for taking the time to comment!

I love the description of Eowyn's garden and how it mirrored herself - she would indeed wish to have an open garden and a free self after so long behind bars as it were. That was the best part. But I love Faramir and it makes sense that the moment he knew of his brother's death would linger and that his grandson would dream of him later in his own boat.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
