a/n: This is a Haldir piece, another monologue-poem thing. Haldir has grown on me, I suppose it's the whole death thing. ^^

Leaves of the Passing

My dreams cry to me

As I lie here

Seeking

Wandered sleep.

I am restless

and I am weary

Sleep does not come

When I call her

And the stars no longer

Sing me away.

I feel my brothers grieve

With the trees

And the air and

The darkened sky

Regards me quietly.

Why do you weep, my friends?

My dreams whisper

Of darkness and

Grief in the night

But I cannot see why.

And as I lie here

I feel their pity

Bleed coldly

Into me and my

Dreams trouble me.

Of whom do they whisper?

Why do the stars dim

With sadness?

Why do they not

Sing me away?

As I lie here

Now

I know my dreams

They cried of

My end

My lonely end

I should have seen

The trees and their

Pity and the sweetness

Of the air depart

And leave me

To my fate

I regard the silent stars

And they

Stay with me

The stars cradle me

In their brilliance

As I fade into death.

The stars

Glimmering and kind

Do not leave me

To this darkness

They sing me away

My stars sing

As I lie here

And find sleep.
