Bauble on the Tree

by Dweller in the Deep

Faramir’s poem to Eowyn telling her not to resent her family for trying to protect her.

Disclaimer: If you are reminded of Faramir and Eowyn, they are not mine.

Bauble On the Tree

You're beautiful,

The sun and moon to me,

More remarkable than the rest,

Not just another bauble on the tree.

But they placed you there, where all could see,

Trapped in your bauble 'pon the tree.

And you resented it,

Your life in a crystal trinket,

Protected and untouched.

To see the world through faultless glass,

As it fell around you,

It brought you pain,

But they wanted to save you,

To keep you from harm,

Don't you see?

So they hung your bauble on the tree.

Strange, I know. It makes sense to me, but then again, I wrote it. So please tell me what you think.
