Well, this thread said I could do what I wanted, so I'm throwin in a non-LOTR poem here. I hope you like it!
Poem for the Mourning Soul
Upon her clouded eyes he looks
bereft of life, they gaze upward
at the ceiling, not at the nooks
and crannies of the church, but toward
the high heavens, beyond the stars
and planets which encompass them.
For this is now her eternal home,
beyond the meager atmosphere’s dome.
She is gone, he thought, and thought only,
for he had not words to utter it.
Words would not come when there she soundly
slept, not while o’er her he would sit.
She left him here, to wallow in misery,
to continue on in the face of this loss.
He remains on earth to suffer on,
she won’t come back, she’s forever gone.
Sometimes God’s will seems wrong to us,
we wonder why it went this way.
But yet, we are instructed to trust,
and continue on with every new day.
He mourns her loss, but yet moves onward,
striving to live out his heavenly calling.
For sometime in the future, he will see her,
when they are reunited in heaven forever.
Again, I'm a religious person, so i believe in God, but if you don't, its alright. try your best to see it my way is I guess what I'm asking.
