My contribution to HASA's drabbling of The Return of the King
The Field of Cormallen
The
West still withstood the waves of darkness
eagles heralded the
hour of doom
stormwinds scattered the Shadow's grasp
Ringbearers
fell wreathed in fire
engulfed in torment of earth's
re-forging.
In Gondor's garden graceful Ithilien
sweet air
breathed life after ash's choking
falling waters wakened the
dead
healed beyond hope by the hand of the King.
Spring-turf
mound now served as throne
yet he knelt before them
bareheaded
bade all praise the Pheriannath.
This flame-flower
ring fellowship renewed.
Overflowing with gladness the Great River
bore them
back from the Gate of blackest despair
to May's
blossoming City at Sun's rising.
Author's
note: The Field of Cormallen means 'golden circle'
and was named for the culumalda trees that grew there.

'golden-red'
