A/N- Whew! I finally have another LotR based poem to post. Please enjoy and review!

Why?

Why, when loved ones die,
Do they take with them
The broken heart
Of thee who gazeth
With helpless sorrow
Upon their fading light?

Why, when the stars appear,
Dost thy smile sadden
And thy gentle voice
Lift up in song
To the heavens high above
Of a past long now forgotten?

Why, when tou lookest upon me
With eyes that have seen
A time before the Sun,
Dost my blood turn cold
And my heart beat in time
With my frantic wonder?

Why, when I watch
Silver ships head out
Across the Sea,
Do my tears fall
With the pain
Of a kindred lost?
