The Lord of Water<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

by D.McGlinchey<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I move through the world via many paths .
\nEach pathway leads to me and I cover this Middle Earth.
\nNowhere is beyond my reach.
\nFor if I am hindered
\nI may take to the sky to fall again anew,
\nWhere each raindrop may carry a message from me,
\nEach teardrop you shed a tale from you.
\nThrough the scars of the land I move unassailed.
\nIn my depths I hold memories and great tales never told.
\nFor the memories and tales are as the Great River’s roar.
\nEach crash is a cry out.
\nEach trickle a whispered sigh.
\nThe thunder of Rauros echoes of a thousand battles,
\nWhilst the screens of a waterfall have hidden the events that began them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not for me the grand halls and graces of Valinor,
Nor the rugged beauty of the lands of Arda.
It is Ulmonan holds my heart.
The depths of my oceans and the calm of my seas offer seclusion enough.
But beware my wrath and cherish my pity
For I am ever present to protect.
To guide.
To avenge.
For I offer both mercy and punishment to the Children of Ill\u00favatar
I will speak with N\u00e0mo and Manw\u00eb if need, within the M\u00e1hanaxar
And forestall the works of Melkor
For I am of the Eight,
The Aratar
The Holy Ones of Arda
And I remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
