I see this age through bitter eyes faith in decline as time grows old and nature still holds to surprise although the age of green grows cold Those ancient trees grow darker now beyond the shadow on the hill the world grown cold forgets it vow yet ancient trees are standing, still Perhaps my heart grown wild and bold hears nature's echo, through its course perhaps, bright futures once foretold will now respond to love's remorse Those ancient trees beyond the hill stand silent, stoic, unafraid perhaps the earth will vent its will and bring to pass all sad plans made The shadow spreads beyond the hill and captures treetops in its shade although the trees are standing still we're witnessing a world unmade Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

"Those ancient trees grow darker now beyond the shadow on the hill the world grown cold forgets it vow yet ancient trees are standing, still" "Those ancient trees beyond the hill stand silent, stoic, unafraid perhaps the earth will vent its will and bring to pass all sad plans made" Gah, this is beautiful, and hollow..I love this very much, the way you describe things is magnificant.. |

Kethry~ I will forever be drawn into words, even when I don't tell you so. And always, you take my breath away, and hold it still. |

You made the echoes resound and the tears well... Perhaps, one of your best... |

I agree... this is one of your best... It leaves mixed emotions... primarily sadness... but also a bit of awe and anticipation. *S* Well done! |

Beloved heart as you know I said this sounded Entish, I think so more than ever now, having just watched for the umpteenth time The Two Towers. And in the same way the films are so akin and do credit to the book, this is definitely an Ent hymn, and wouldn’t be out of place in Treebeard’s litany. What more can I say other than it is outstandingly well written and perfect in everyway. and forever Mushy    Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |
