Here at the end of all things.

You have fallen.
And I cannot reach you.
Ever step I willed you on,
Every moment I lead you to this.
You never left my mind,
Not once, not ever.
--The End of All Things from LOTR:ROTK

I watched too much LOTR:ROTK this week, and that quote from Frodo probably stuck to my head: "I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee...Here at the end of all things.".

Poetry! Poetry!

In Hope and Peril

Everything must come to and end,
As our lives may, or may not be.
Destroying the things that may matter,
Believing, the things we may not see.
For in this hope we reach for glory,
Like a rampaged warrior hungry for blood.
Running, hoping, and pushing aside,
Ah, Glory is found at end of this light.

In hope, there is peril that comes.
And peril may include ones demise.
The warrior, ever so hungry and weak,
Die in vain, sleep in grief.
Little did the warrior know the truth?
Of how his hunger was abused,
And to this day, this warrior rest,
Unknown, Hungry, and left to die.
