Whispers in the Wind.... A Lament to Haldir

By Yours Truly

As the moon casts down its silver light upon fair Lorien,
a new star shines above.

How bright shines this evening star, ever glistening in the night.

From the dying beams of the setting sun, a shadow cloaks the light.

Yet even in valiant death, you have been reborn.

To rise above living pain, in a place of true immortality, invisible to mortal eyes...

Elven Tirion.

Child of Arda, were do you now dwell?

Shaded from this Earth.

Do you walk amongst the living trees, in eternal Valinor?

There upon the unfading grass, ever blossom the flowers of singing silver, and there beyond the waking realm,
now flows life after death.

Invisible you to the eyes of those who do not understand...

But I can see you now...

You haunt my dreams every night, and yet I yearn for sleep the entire day.

Will I see you once again?

For me, the sun now shines cold.

The wind now hollowly blowing.

Water now shining dull, the grey liquid of dark death.

For the fairest light of Lorien has faded, and now fall my lamenting tears.

For even in death, my love for you lives on...

Haldir of Lorien.
