White Shores, Weary Souls By Otakuprincess

Alight upon the shores
Of Middle-Earth clear in sunlight
Reflects upon the water
A shadow

The ship is rigged and sails are high
Above their mighty mast
Which shall bear me hence
Into the edge of the world

You look at me in sadness
Surprised when I walk away
From your hands which once waved
A pleasant farewell

And most of all, Sam, I look to you
For your expression is more than I can bear
I want you to follow, but alas, it is not the time
The darkness has forsaken you

If only it had forsook me
But it was not my fate to return
The eagles left me on the slopes of Orodruin
And there I remain

I sail to white shores to drink the light
To shrug the heavy burden from my shoulders
But you, Sam, must remain with joy
For much of life you have yet to see

But there will come a time
When you may follow cross the sea
To where I will await
With open arms

So do not weep as I fade
Into the sunset
For we shall meet again
When you are swallowed by the darkness
