Pelargir (13th March 3019 T.A.)
Black dawn, black sails, black
waves drown the cry of the gulls.
The tide is coming.
The Lady of the Tower
Blue starry mantle -
see constellations moving
with her every breath.
Grey Havens
A forlorn seagull,
wailing high in the mist. We
stay here incomplete.
North Wind
Who would have guessed our
walls could be shaken by a
faint sound of a horn ?
The Sea-call
A cold stony strand,
rolling waves break in whispers,
shards of a Music.
----------
Author's notes: The Lady of the Tower is Finduilas; and `North Wind' refers to Boromir's death. Or I hope it does.
Many thanks to fileg for encouragement and for her help with North Wind.
My thanks go also to Mary Sue Assasin: May the Valar bless you in your noble fight!

"And it is said by the Eldar that in water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance else that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen."
Ainulindalë, J.R.R. Tolkien
