VALINOR

-Kevin Michael Anderson-

 

There is a land, so great and fair

wrapped in secrets that none can dare,

But past the fog and mighty waves

grows things that forever stays.

 

Their lights gleam by through skies,

Their moon is where it rests and dies.

Concealed in mountains; A majestic sight,

from Taniquetil, and Ilmarin, of white and crisp Night!

 

There summer greens grow wildly

and a tune is wove so merrily

that fountains scream with delight and gloom

and flowers bloom from August through June!

 

Their the frost is mere sweet delight!

and warmth is a endless sensational flight!

Their towers and cities are built great;

And the Eldar whom live in them live an Undying Fate!

 

There the lights play as a musical,

high strung with life so ethical!

There a kingdom is wrought, in the West,

which are homes to Gods, their temporary 'Nest',

 

There the Valar live, in Valinor,

which contains the Elder Days, and all other Day's lore,

there, lies a heavenly world

that feels sent from Heaven hurled,

 

down to Earth, as a flash of Hope

in Valinor, where the Ends are smoke,

In Valinor, where the Garden sleeps,

in Valinor, where only Nienna weeps,

 

In Valinor, where the Dead rest,

In Valinor, where lies the Crest

of the designs of Illuvutar,

In Valinor, to the West, Afar...
