Midst of War

by Forsaken Elf

About an elf who falls in war, and a mother who can't bear the pain. Yes, it's a poem.

Midst
-of-
War

This peaceful young beauty
An Elf, so fair, so free,
fallen in the midst of war,
And I teem with reality...

The sweet songs she used to sing
So sweet, so fair, so free,
Stifled in the midst of war,
my cheeks gleam with reality....

A good life did she have,
So lively, so fair, so free,
It ended at the stroke of a blade,
And so I sing
for the relief
of reality
