THINKING



Zitat
Thinking of good and bad,
What must he be doing, that jolly lad?
Bilbo went, far away,
Almost vanished, say.

Last, he had will to join some quest,
Whose kind gifts no repose nor rest,
With the company of such strange a people,
Bored, done with the quiet oak or the gentle maple.

DORMANT FIRE



Zitat
Round the sorry kingdom,
Once hailed glorious, what an earldom!
Dormant today lie they,
Lands in the tenure of who all may.

One that may, before the eyes of Men,
Ambers needing new air, then,
A hero might come, by chance,
Waking the sleeping fire of the vassals, firmly holding his lance.

GOOD IS NIGH



Zitat
Betimes I pray,
As morn beginneth,
Bathing in thy ray,
Thus Varda commandeth.

Thou seest furthest,
Beyond pain and gloom,
Thy sacred silence soundeth loudest,
When foul spectres loom.

Sky Queen,
What shall I add to thy power?
Clear us from sin,
So never again will we cower.

Invoking light,
I shall not sigh,
Knowing well in plight,
That Good is verily nigh.

ORDER IN THE BLUE



Zitat
Order in the blue,
It ever amuses me,
So splendid a hue,
Revered in plea.

Not wave or turbulent tide,
A broad sky of brightness,
Infinite and wide,
Piercing dark in whiteness.

OLD MAN, STRANGE ROD



Zitat
Really, it's as we tell,
Amidst folks, loud and well,
Queer visitor, without doubt,
Selling mystery and showing clout.

Such is of those ones the route,
Abroad, an exotic fruit,
Faraway traveller,
Not much for your eyes, but a mere teller.

Some times, he comes and goes,
Regardless of odds and laws,
Old man, pointy hat,
Unwilling to part suddenly or fret.

Old man, that he beseems,
Weary visage, tired limbs,
Albeit the rod he bears,
Hint at the true power he actually wears.

THE LAST VOYAGE



Zitat
The last voyage of our star,
Alas, parting from lands that cage and bar,
A decaying world, rendered sorry and grey,
The time has come to embrace this farewell day.

Lovely daughter, you shall sail fine and swift,
Across the ends of Arda, by whose course seas drift,
Unto the glowing Sunny Domain,
Where the home of our very kind ever-safe has lain.

LOSING GRIP



Zitat
Now weak, once firm,
History wheels in time, yet mankind is not to learn,
That shadow should not be given an open way,
To return and cast its dreariness on mount or bay.

Men, so eagerly drawn to rule,
The crown falls, the glorious lord grows fool,
Men, their aching hand is losing grip,
Before such hatred, so cruel and deep.

MUCH IS YET TO BE SUNG



Zitat
Much is yet to be sung,
So will harps be gently wrung,
In the manners that soul always soothe,
As meander harmonies smooth.

One place in a kind heart,
Struck by your very mystery, as though it were a dart,
Past the sunset of the world, you shall descend your holy seat,
For a new dawn to rise, for new green fields full of wheat.

DEAD ONES DO TELL TALES



Zitat
Aye, that you need not deny,
Dead ones do tell tales,
Feeble murmurs or lie,
Then storming as vigorous gales.

They tell advice and warning,
To not take the road abroad,
To work hard each eve and morning,
Ignoring fantasy or beguiling word.

One ought not to go far, my friend,
If he's so desirous of pleasure,
Here to sneer at fables we tend,
For calm we love and cherish measure.

Wherefore, the dead have a lot to say,
Regretting the warm home they had left,
For deadly quests and beasts which slay,
Snatching their lives in heinous theft.

TRAGIC SIEGE



Zitat
At last, the host came across,
Through dust, choking ash and great loss,
Leading their armies beyond,
There were two kings, of whom bards sing fond,
A loyal sire, of so rare a sort among Men,
The high monarch of Elves, who any vile was ever to ban,
Ensuing bloody carnage, the two crowns the Dark Kingdom besiege,
Showing no mercy to foul minions or cursed liege,
Unto the slopes of the imposing mountain of fire,
When our foe headed finally forth, one-time much potent Maia.

THE OVERSEER OF WOODS



Zitat
No, I do believe he's a good wizard,
Keen on caring more after mice, bird or lizard,
He dwells within the dim forest, away from towns or folks,
For not very often would he join everyday business and talks.

Notwithstanding, he's since set on woods the most careful watch,
Lest any ill will spoil the green's sound notch,
As an overseer, he walks the path abreast,
Amidst nature, his love, counselling deer and putting wolves to rest.

SO FAIR AND PURE



Zitat
Thy love, so fair and pure,
Of fell deeds thou art the cure,
Tenderness for the heart sore,
Nought else we may ask more,
But the sheer grace of thine,
For fain we lived fine,
Preserved from evil and doom,
Dreading not the night, blessed by the Moon,
Awaiting the hour of a just end,
Before which thy faithful Angels thou shalt send.

ENGRAVED GOLD



Zitat
See, that laborious lot behind their walls,
They speak not of what they store beneath such hidden halls,
Spells, tools and the raw ore they ever fancy to mould,
Deep down, where greed assumes the guise of gold.

THE NEW HAMMER



Zitat
Again shall this world suffer,
Yet, befallen tales much from present differ,
As the terrible Hammer of the Underworld was then lost,
Either sunk in the seas or trapped by frost.

Unto this our Third Age,
When the Dark Lord lethal war is to wage,
Now, new demons these unsafe paths tread,
While the hammer's legacy mocks the visage of a wolf-head.

FOND SHORE



Zitat
Fond shore, caressed by western waves,
Which gives hope to kind and the fleeing saves,
Afar, melodious echoes seem to spread,
Whither the day goes to die and heavens turn red.
