Simply Pippin
Darkness surrounds me
tonight.
No breeze blows my curly locks
Nothing that has life
gives signs
Besides
those who accompany me.
I realize for the first time that I am
afraid
The
others keep a brave face, but I know
Even He who leads us is
anxious about the future
The dark places become more profound
When
only one light guides our path
Which is precarious anyway.
Death
seems to want us,
It is waving us to come near
Yet we evade it
once again
Our
leader considers me a fool
Which is most likely true
But one
day I shall show him
I will stand up and be brave
And defend
instead of causing the trouble.
I
remember how the Lord of Rivendell
Told me I was too young
I
want to show him I can do it,
That I am not too young
I will
make them proud of me for once
No longer be a fool but someone
could admire.
But until then I shall be Simply Pippin.
