This is just a short thing I wrote last night. My friends are wanting me to watch all the Lord Of The Rings movies and I finished watching the first yesterday. I got a bit inspired, so I wrote this. I will rate it as complete now, but I might continue later.
And yes, it's really short but I was just basically writing down my thoughts :) Hope you like it!
Listen, children of Earth
Listen, hear how they gather
Their voices are soft
Soft as cotton
Their feet are light
Light as a feather
See, they are the elves
The elves that wander the forests of the world
Listen, children of Earth
Listen, hear how they gather
Their voices are dark
Dark as the caves of Moira
Their feet are hard
Hard as stone
See, they are the dwarfs
The dwarfs that lives in the mountains
Listen, children of Earth
Listen, hear how they gather
Their voices are sweet
Sweet as sugar
Their feet are used
Used by their travels
See, they are the humans
The humans that travel the world
Listen, children of Earth
Listen, hear how they gather
Their voices are playful
Playful like children
Their feet are jumpy
Jumpy like a frog
See, they are the hobbits
The hobbits that sings for the world
The young hobbit opened his eyes and fixed their brilliant blue stare at the children before him. They looked up at him with wide eyes, stunned by what he had recited before them.
"Mr Baggins, is that true? What you said?" A brave boy in the front rose from his seat, showing that he already at age ten was long for a hobbit.
"Oh, yes my dear Benjamin." Baggins smiled and rustled the boys' hair. "I was there, seeing it all happen." The sadness in his eyes went unnoticed by the children, whom only clapped their hands, demanding him to continue talking.
The hobbit straightened his back and took a deep breath. Though to his young years, his entire body language was full of sorrows. You could see the darkness in his eyes if you looked carefully and the mouth without recent laughter. He was a man that had experienced too much too soon. Someone who had seen the darkest places of Middle Earth and knew every terror possible.
