Meeting in the Marshes

by Tigerlily Sackville-Baggins

Yet another poem I wrote about Frodo. His longing to die in meeting the lost souls of the Dead Marshes. A bit about his parents and the bribing of the souls as well.

Disclaimer: I own nothing except my love for Frodo. And as I've said before, no one can take that away from me.

A/N: I saw the very last Two Towers trailer and wrote this...I hope you enjoy it!

Meeting in the Marshes

I saw faces

Dead faces, they beckoned to me Sam

They asked me to come with them

Oh you could not understand

I wanted to so badly

To be rid of all I hold

To just die and leave this body

For my soul's already sold

The Orcs they whispered...

"Beauty"

And the Noble whispered ...

"Gold "

They told me of all the things I want

I know the lies they told

They talked of things I left behind

My friends, the sun, the hills

And what's the point of running

To where I know that I'll be killed

They told me they could give me hope

Their lights they shine with love

But I know the only hopeful lights

Are the ones that dwell above

But to fall into that water

To die the way my parents did

To live a life of solitude

And to finally be rid....

O how relieving it would be

The End
