Legolas' Eyes....A poem

Post by Silivren Ithildin » Wed Aug 03, 2005 7:30 am

Legolas' Eyes

Deep within your eyes
many things look back at me.
The agelessness of Elves
shines out so very clearly.

Yet, I have also seen
such a patent disbelief
as you watched Gandalf fall,
your pain close to the surface.

In Helm's Deep I saw a despair
over the overwhelming circumstances,
300 against 10,000?
Noone could be unaffected.

But, when the Elf Horn sounded
and you watched the Elves come in
the strength of your Elvish blood
blazed outwardly from your soul.

Before the Black Gate
as the Host of Mordor surrounded you
and you saw Aragorn's plight
desperation to help him shone through.

A quiet sort of joy glowed from your eyes
when evil was no longer in Middle-earth
and with the journey's end
you were free to be you again.

And Aragorn gave it a new name and called it Anduril, Flame of the West. FOTR

This is so nice! It really fits Legolas, and describes him so well! I love this line the most:
A quiet sort of joy glowed from your eyes
Great poem, Sil! :D

A wonderful poem ,Silivren Ithildin :yay:
I was reliveing those scenes through Legolas :D
Deep within your eyes

He beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise.

This was so beautifully said. I do believe you have captured his true feelings. Legolas is my favorite character.
