I challenged myself to write something that expressed Sams feelings on what the quest did to Frodo with as few words as possible.

Not sure if I succeeded but what do you think?


Sams Lament for Frodo

.

Too much,

He can not bear the load,

He can not bear the pain

But he must.

.

Too far.

He can not feel his feet,

He can not hear my voice

As I call.

.

Too wide.

He can not cross the road,.

He can not walk that far

All alone.

.

Too long

He can not see the end,

He can not reach the goal

Without me.

.

Too late.

He can not let it go,

He can not let it fall

On his own.

.

Too hurt.

He can not see the light,

He can not feel the pain

In his hand.

.

Too much.

He can not live again,

He can not forget all

That he has done.

.

To sail.

He can not linger here,

He can not hope to rest

At home again.
