A/N: Another poem; just my thoughts and appreciation for LotR and Middle-earth.  I'm sure some of you feel the same way.

Escape To Arda

I walk in silence

Down murky hallways filled with people

All talking, laughing, crying.

No one notices.

They are all wreathed in smoke—dim, far away

And it's so dark in here.

I don't belong.

But I know how to escape.

Brush through the leaves,

And now I'm traveling in the Old Forest,

Climbing Redhorn, all in snow and wind;

I'm defending a mighty fortress,

I'm speaking to trees,

Crossing marshes and gazing in a Palantír.

I pass through Torech Ungol

To Orodruin in the dead plain.

I am in the Tower of Guard,

In the woods of Lórien.

I travel with elves and men and hobbits.

Ah!  Now I am where I belong.
