A/N: This little poem is dedicated to the Tree of Gondor (can you dedicate something to a fictional plant?). LOTR and the Tree belong to J.R.R. Tolkien. Enjoy~

The White Tree
one solitary tree
alone in a courtyard of stone
branches
white as bone
standing starkly
against the black, fiery darkness
over the tiers and the domes and the tall white tower
and the impassive black stone wall
behind which
shadows hide and plot
but the tree
the white tree
stands above it all
a symbol
of hope in the darkness
until the king is come again
and the world
and the white city
are whole again
and finally
the white tree
will burst into flower~
