Walküre:
VIA TIDES



--- Zitat ---Via tides I dare,
To find others that could bear,
The immense weight of water,
Hailing vastness as fond daughter.

She fears not storm,
The bastion of law and norm,
Amidst grand ones that wane,
Struck by weariness or foul bane.

The Land of Gift,
Mariners passing waves,
So firm and swift,
Borne by zephyrs and gales.

Númenor, whom hast thou not enthralled?
Bewildered, by the Island off the known world?
Shall thy legacy outlive disgrace?
Shall folks recall thy elder race?

Walküre:
EPIC ECHOES



--- Zitat ---Epic echoes in forever,
Every time, age and wherever,
Battles, clashes and gore,
Not just glory in the course of lore,
Great cities reduced to dust,
Their lords' marble images now rot and rust,
Eaten, devoured by the past,
Slain by those whom fight they ever must,
Fallen towers, bones of rock,
Dead kings, once fine in figure to mock.

On a stone altar,
He who was not to falter,
Laid there to rest,
Grandest of his kin and best,
The human monarch, from proud to grim,
Used to commanding fear and not mild seem,
Sign of an age bidding salute,
Splendour of yore we shall not refute,
Of regal awe and might,
Of undimmed memory and bright.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
THERE AND BACK AGAIN (JEST)



--- Zitat ---Funny, silly jest,
What else, my dear guest?
Oh, thou wouldst hear more,
Ere food is short and thy throat sore.

Well, traveller of faraway ends,
Pardon words, we shall make amends,
For art thou in the green Shire,
Wherein find we not anger and ire.

Thus, hearken to this our tale,
Hidden by secret veil,
Wreathed in time's mist,
Drawn swords and closed fist.

A simple Hobbit partook in a quest,
Passing grave peaks and the murky wood's test,
Defying spiders and Orcs,
Battling witchcraft and black magic's works.

Beside fine fellows of regal kind,
Stubborn, aye, yet never failing mind,
To reclaim a kingdom, buried in wealth and stone,
Cursed by greed, where a cruel dragon ruled lone.

Alas, darling friend,
Not all was right to mend,
A realm conquered anew,
But the king fell and his soul flew.

Buried inside his home,
Entombed under the mount's dome,
Engraved there, to rest unto the breach of the gate,
When victory shall perhaps beseem too late.

Ah, what was of our brave one?
War he survived and just was done,
A new ally he hath found in a mage,
A buoyant grey wizard, immensely wise and sage.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
BEHOLD



--- Zitat ---Behold, the curtain of fog fades away,
A sweet breeze carries us safe from death and decay,
May you feel the vessel leave fear and bane?
A straight route towards the western Immaculate Reign.

Seat of splendour and gold,
Beyond measure mighty and old,
Evergreen Fields within such colossal shield,
Before the holy Powers, who the heavy sceptre of regency wield.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
FRAGILE FLOWER



--- Zitat ---Fragile tender flower,
So sweet, resenting sour,
But a brief moment on earth,
Albeit fond and very worth.

Facing winter and its cold,
Knowing not whether spring was then to unfold,
Daring grievous and evil,
Often comes real valour from the feeble.

Is it worthy, to abide in the ephemeral and unsure?
It is, for a weak soul yet pure,
One whom illness shall never break,
One whom adversities noble make.

The short living of the mortal man,
Fated to pass, nought he can,
Though greater are the deeds of those who perish,
If love, right and mercy they deeply cherish.
--- Ende Zitat ---
