Elent\u00e1ri<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

by: R P Eldon <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above my world she sails, illuminating my starscape.
No siren is she.
Dancing on astral oceans, her sway sings songs of starlight.
Beauty of Princess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rending night from dark, her silver gown of silken waters
\nflowing and surging.
\nAs is her love, everlasting, and ever abiding.
\nQueen of my Heavens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warm is her heart, like hearth unto cold stone thawing the soul.
\nFiery spirit,
\nscorching those who forsook her love, her heart, and her darkness.
\nFierceness of Goddess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever in my mind is she, my Evenstar, my dancer.
\nConsoling my black,
\nembracing my fears, burning away my shade into night.
\nDancer of Darkness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nigh is the morn, and thus the sky sharpens.
Will I see her again? This moonlight Fay<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fellowship<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

by Idril<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the fire in Elven halls.
\nMournful songs by Rauros falls.
\nCold and snow on mountain peak.
\nA Dwarf strong and Hobbits weak.
\nMen proud and a Wizard wise.
\nFleeing Crebain in the skies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fellowship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sausages and taters cook.
\nFilling canteens from the brook.
\nFierce Wolves howling in the night.
\nArrows fly and axes bite.
\nGlowing runes upon a door.
\nMidges biting in a moor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fellowship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tossing jokes from mouth to mouth.
\nBlocked by spies from passage South.
\nTeaching Little Ones to spar.
\nThinking of the Evenstar.
\nWand\u2019ring through the caverns deep.
\nBalrog woke from deathless sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fellowship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Splashing through the Nimrodel,
\nFrequent orc attacks repel.
\nMeeting elves within the trees.
\nWorries for a while ease.
\nLady White searches the heart.
\nSees each person\u2019s future part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fellowship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One will fall but not despair.
\nTwo will in the forest fare.
\nOne will claim an ancient crown.
\nTwo will never let him down.
\nOne will life itself rebirth.
\nTwo will save all Middle-Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fellowship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Enemy! <\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

by David McGlinchey<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Far seeing,
\n(Without looking.)
\nSecrets hearing,
\n(Without listening.)
\nFar reaching,
\n(Without moving)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Enemy moves amongst us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whispered threats,
\n(Without speaking.)
\nVisions sent,
\n(Without showing.)
\nArmies building,
\n(Without recruiting)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Enemy is here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
