Arwen's Poem

Walking through a forest

Breathing in the air.

With no set destination but elsewhere.

Fragrance of oak and pine,

Breathing in the divine.

Arwen's fate is not clear,

But her departure is near.

Why, father? Why?-

You belong with your people. says Elrond.

Tears of anguish run down her cheek

Upon hearing the answer she does not seek.

Colors of brown, yellow, and green,

Everywhere to be seen.

Not a sign of an end

As far as sight can mend.

All of a sudden the Evenstar glows

For a vision it must show;

Aragorn, crowned, in a great hall of kings,

Dancing around with a child at his grasp.

On the child's neck, the Evenstar

Ever so glowing. And his eyes very much

Like hers, cross her gaze

Lady Arwen? We must go, We cannot linger.

Do you not wish to sail to a new home

Other than this dark dome? says a squire.

Walking through a forest

Breathing in the air.

With no set destination but elsewhere.

Fragrance of oak and pine,

Breathing in the divine.

I am home
