A! Elbereth Glithoniel!
Though stormy seas may rise,
A perfect light resides within
And waits for darker nights.
Glithoniel, A Elbereth!
When hope is fading fast,
You rise to conquer all that lies
The pure light that dies last.
A Glithoniel! Elbereth!
Tiny words of lasting power,
An aid to all in deadly peril…
O save us now in this dark hour.

"A Farewell"One swan-white ship sails slowly out to meet the rising grey mist,
And I, I was left behind.
The sea spray now clings to skin, farewell hiding burning, bitter tears:
For I was left behind.
Healing bliss before them; a long and lonely road behind me,
Home for one left behind.
The sky cries with me, stinging damp cheek with needle-wet drops.
A sky, a land that would be left behind.
One last fleeting glimpse, and the dear master lets loose the light of the glass,
For the one left behind.
And like a voice from a dream, a memory rises from my parched lips:
"A! Elbereth Glithoniel!" words from paths behind.
A memory of conquered dark, rising light, and finally, perfect peace.
Left behind, but not for long.

"Untitled"Secrets hide in starless dark:
Lies, in paths forsaken.
Though shadows descend upon the day,
Hope is not yet taken.
Monsters wing through depths of dark:
They search for one all-but-lost.
Love lies in brutal innocence,
And hate will be the cost.
Listen now, oh heed me now:
My words will not die soon.
Light is far, dark is nigh,
And all lie beneath the moon.
