grey dawn (song for samwise)

by Ashura

Just a snippet of poetry for poor Sam. From the end of Return of the King, though too vague to really be spoilers.

nothing special here...just a poem I banged out in bio the other day. 

grey dawn (song for samwise)
by ashura nagisa

the dawn comes grey in broken sky
no sun can pierce the haze (like eyes
once tender, too weary now for tears--
but i remember laughter)

i dream now even waking (or sleep
while tired feet trudge on)
of grass, of blossom-scented air,
of hands scarred by thorns not blades,
stained by soil not blood
a simpler world, a dream we shared
faded on fringes of memory
broken by grey, dismal dawn

my world dulls in his eyes
and he grows heavy
but for my fading dream, my world, i
will carry him til i fall
