Words are too complicated and love needs no words

By Aria

Luckily love needs no words.

It was lucky that they didn't always need words to understand each other. If they had they might never have fallen in love. She didn't know the Common Speech and he didn't know the Silvan tongue, luckily both knew enough Sindarin to get by.

Misunderstandings run rampant in action and deed when you don't know what the other means.

Problems arise from culture and through kin when you can hardly understand each other's worlds.

The sea churns and the leaves rustle. Heaven and earth. Wind and fire.

One longs for oceans deep and blue.

One longs for forests light and tall.

Opposites attract.

It is lucky then, that love needs no words.

Author's notes and disclaimer:

The Lord of the Ring's and all other associated materials remain the property of the Tolkien estate, this story is not for profit and is made purely for entertainment.

Written as part of the Silmarillion Writer's Guild Back to Middle-earth bingo challenge a long time ago…. Unfortunately I now can't remember what parts of the board since it was so long ago.

Constructive criticism is always gratefully received and Happy New Year! Here's hoping I manage to get a few more of these uploaded and my hard drive cleared of finished or semi-finished fiction this year.
