In that one moment
By-Larien
A/N- A poem on the last battle in front of the black gate, from Gandalf's view. Please Review.
Disclaimer- I own not Tolkien's world. Hence why I call myself Larien and not Tolkien.
In that one moment I felt my heart lift
In that one moment I felt our fate shift.
For one brief second my joy was alight
For one brief second, the eagles took flight
In one quick glance I saw it destroyed
In one quick glance, it was lost in the void
With one loud cheer, I heard others yell
With one loud cheer, another orc fell
Then one loud crash, and the mountain blew apart
Then one loud crash, and glass ripped at my heart
With that startling crack the sky grew dim
With that startling crack, his chances grew slim
That single tear swam down my face
That single tear away my joy did chase
That billowing silence that had taken hold
That billowing silence during we all felt cold
That smoke spewing from the mountain top
That smoke spewing and didn't stop
A despairing wail from hobbits behind
A despairing wail that echoed with mine
In that one moment I felt my heart drop
In that one moment I looked to the mountain top.
