I wrote this poem based on lines from the song, "Song of the Lonely Mountain" by Neil Finn. I was particularly drawn to the line "Fiery mountain/ Beneath the moon" and the line "And all who find us/ Will know the tune."

Beneath the Moon
Trudging ever onward,
We've a home to reclaim soon
We see the fiery mountain,
Glowing red beneath the moon
Long forgotten halls we seek,
And pale, enchanted gold,
Looking ever onward, we
Hold fast to dreams of old
Following the dwarven map,
Reading the ancient runes
We see the lonely mountain,
Glowing pale beneath the moon
Elves will never hinder us,
We will escape someday,
Running ever onwards on
Some long forgotten way
Singing ancient songs of old-
All we find will know the tune,
We see the misty mountain
Glowing bright beneath the moon
Arriving now upon the lake
Our mountain we shall claim,
Fighting Smaug to claim our stone
We'll never be the same
Making ready for the fight to come
In this vast and empty tomb,
We claim the once-lost mountain,
Glowing soft beneath the moon
Ready now, we march to war,
Slaying friend and later foe,
Our loss will be far greater than
We could ever wish to know
No longer trudging onward,
We play a saddened tune
As we stand inside a mountain,
Glowing faint beneath the moon
Going ever onward, tell
All who'll listen to this tale,
Of a king inside his mountain
Forever lying still and pale
