Chapter 13 Rivendell

When he woke up he found himself lying in bed

He remembered still words that the Nazgul had said.

But his shoulder was bound and he wore a white gown

Which did never belong to the clothes of his own.

And the room were he was, was a nice place to be.

There were walls of white marmor and flowers to see.

When he looked round in wonder, he did wonder when

He´d been brought to this place, opened his eyes, but then.

Full of joy was his heart when he saw a known face

Sitting beside his bed, at this neverseen place.

For the friend he had so dearly missed in his pain

He was back and was sitting neyt to him again

And the wizard smiled warmly but he did not tell

Where he was and what evil things Saruman befell.
So the ringbearer´s safe and the story at end?

Not at all for the peoples still have to defend

Against dark floods from Mordor, who march to the west

Where the secondborn dwell and the firstborn still rest.

And the humans are weak for the old days are gone

When the high kings of Numeor sat on the Throne

Of their land, when in wonderful silvery light

Their armour still shone against Sauron´s dark night.

They feel they won´t resist against these who now claim

All their freedom and lifes. Forgotten is the name

Of Isildur and others who valiant and strong

Held their cities with strength. And the powerful song

Of high victory fades. They feel weak, hope is small.

And there´s only one man who could maybe help all

But he wanders in sorrow he still fears to claim

The throne of the west, allthough he after name

Is the heir of Isildur, a king of the old.

But before that things still have to happen and be told.
For the Lord of Imladris felt fear getting close

And from thought and from fear the High Halfelf arose.

He decided to hold a great Council as soon

As the peoples could gather to speak of their doom.

For he knew that the Ring would decide all their fate

And he thought of Isildur who once was his mate

In those wars, long forgotten in mists of the past

But he felt that decision had to come at last.
And alas all the lords of the free people strode

Through many assailed countrys, on horsebacks they rode

On swift steeds to meet there where the Halfling was brought

For they hoped that aid and maybe council was tought.
So came Boromir, son of the White City´s Lord

On a strong southern horse, for the valiant man sought

Explanation for a dream he did not get clear

For he dreamed of a voice, who in glory and fear

Told that Isildur´s bane would now soon be revealed

So he mounted his horse with horn, sword and with shield.

In his mind still the words from his dream that did say

That a Halfling might bear theirdoom through dawnless day.
And from Mirkwood he came, son of Thranduil King

As an elf from the Elvenfolk who used to sing

Under stars, under leaves and ill news he brought there

That the creature escaped that had once just lived where

An old hobbit had found a strange ring that was mad

And that creature escaped, whom the ring had turned mad.
And the craftsmen of dwarves left their mines in the east

And they went to Imladris and there they did meet

All the folk from the West. Their Lords came full of pride

For they walked on their feet, for the dwarves never ride

With them came Gimli Gloinsson, who as you will see

Will be one of our heros, when things come to be.
And the Ringbearer, shy among all these high men

Elves and dwarves soon stepped into their circle and then

After Elrond did tell him to get out the Ring

He revealed from his pocket this golden small thing
If you´re eager to know what will soon come to pass

You again must be patient, I hope to be fast.
So, all of you guys. REEEVIEEEW!!! *g*
