A poem- I was bored and listing to the ROTK soundtrack (Track 18- The Grey
Havens). I dunno how it is, it may be lacking something- all u poetical
types- constructive criticism, pleez!
The Sea Calls
The sea calls
Look to the horizon
The gulls weep
Take the ship
Into the west
Leave fear and hate and doubt
And friendship
What of them?
They lived their lives with yours
Would you go where they can't follow?
The tears burn
Smite the timbers of this
Elven ship
Dark spots
On bright wood
So easy
To go back
Turn away
Go home
But the sea calls
The sun, jewel-bright
Sinks low
The light on the water
Strikes the rings on their hands
Calling
And all seems dark and cold
For It's gone
What's to lose?
The scar runs to deep
Cleansing is the light of elven eyes
And the shimmering of the grey rain curtain
As it parts
And the moon is as bright as mithril
And the sea calls.
