Art of Fate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
by: Milan<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
How can so much darkness exist, while there is light?\nHow can the Black Eye of Mordor stare, while hobbit children skip through the grass?\nDo all the troubles wash away down the River Anduin, great and wide, mysteriously,\nOr do they pop up like hobbit children in a game of hide and seek, ready to come out for Elevenses?\nHow does life move on, to the beauty of the Lorien,\n\nTo come into the songs of old,\nTo relinquish the art of fate,\nTo come back stronger than you came,\nWhat will the minstrels sing?\nWhat will they say in their songs when you\u2019re gone,\n\nWhen you look into Galadriel\u2019s Mirror, what will you see?\nA sad reflection of yourself, of everything you are,\nThe destruction of your home, a black eye of fowl menace,\nWho are you? Can you face yourself for me?\nWeren\u2019t we all just hobbits, letting our days unwind, in a safe haven for a time,\n\nWhen the Carrion fowl take your body,\nWhat will you think?\nWill you watch from your ship at sea,\nOr paddle forward, to find what awaits you in lands of bliss,\nWhat will be your regrets, your wishes, your lies to yourself?\n\n-Milan<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
