I waited for a while

I know, this is weird. When one thinks too deeply about the thoughts of a pony in Lord of the Rings, it is always weird. Beware of bad puns, free verse, and other stuff. This is the product of listening to music on a computer after reciting The Raven one too many times at a competition. But hey, enjoy! I hope…

I do not have the remarkable imagination of Tolkien, the great author who can inspire philosophical thoughts from the point of view of a pony.

I waited for a while

I sniffed and stayed and learnt that life deals blow incomparable to those that humans deal out.

But I never know; I'm small.

I listened to the dangers that they felt always imminent.

But I never know; I'm small.

In the weeping wonder of the twilight hour where the sky and the sweet earth kiss,

I found myself at the shore of a lake of nightmares, and not the type that I like.

I sniffed and stayed and learnt that fate deals blows with the suddenness of eternity.

I watched the waters brown edges, no longer, no longer stronger from the flowing that power and gravity brings about.

Fear, it must have been fear, fear, fear incarnate leaping out at me from the brown murk of fright.

I fled

My life from out me bled

I fled in fear I fled

I left behind my reason for courage, I left behind my friends

But I'm safe now.

I look out the fields and wonder, wonder, wonder.

Where are they? Have they completed the task? That great task that they spoke about? Saved the world?

But I never know; I'm small.
