The poem "Sing to Me" is by, well, me. And the last poem is by Samantha Rose and myself. Thank you, Sam Rose, for your input.

There are often times in one's life where you are forced to look back on the past and learn from it. Too many times has that happened to me. Not ever again.
It has only been a week since Legolas's life and mine were forever entwined, already my world has changed. I love it. All of it.
One thing, though, keeps coming back to my mind. The poem Legolas wrote so long ago, when it was thought I was lost forever.
~~~
Sing to me a place
Where anything is possible
Sing to me a place
Of beauty unimaginable
Sing to me a place
Where I can live my life again
Sing to me a place
Where to love is only to begin
Sing to me a place
Where all of time is lost
Sing to me a place
Where cries of pain are past
Sing to me a place
Where I can once again be free
Sing to me a place
A place of trust
A place of hope
A place where I am loved for me
Sing to me my life again
~~~
The words still haunt me, but in a different way than they did before. They once rang true.
They once told the life of a lost little girl, but now she is established. No longer a girl- but a true Lady instead.
I've found the place that was spoken of in the poem. Its with Legolas. It was that way all along.
So now I take up my harp, prepared to sing once again, but it will not be a lament, as a past melody might have been. It will be a song of defeat. Over everything that once stood in my way. My road is clear now. I am free.
~~~
In the beginning I was lost and alone
no one to help me, a child, not grown
thought that my fate was to know only pain and fear
thought that my eyes would only see tears
but then out of nowhere you set me free
my heart and spirit, you made me see
I could go forever as long as you were here
Holding me close, keeping me near
you believed in me when I was scared
you saved my life and you cared
because of you I came to see
that there is more than helplessness inside of me
I am strong and can go on
to see the rights now, not the wrongs
Myself is there and shining through
all of this because of you
Amin mela lle, A'maelamin
