Prayer For An Elven Maiden's Heart

A/N: I was trying to fall asleep when I had written this and an Elf Muse popped in my head and tried singing me a elvish Lullaby.

But Arwen did not succeed, instead she only inspired me to write a poem...about love. (shudders)

Well actually, I really like Arwen and Aragorn's untainted love bull.

With that being said. This is my First time posting any writings for others to see.

Be Gentle, We do like constructive criticism.

Elladan: She has failed to mention who she refers to when she speaks of 'We'.
She is referring to us, whom she fondly calls Mischief Muses.

On With the Poetry.

Disclaimer: I lay no claim to the wonderful world and characters that Tolkien has created, I only wish to put forth my writings which are inspired by it.

Prayer For An Elven Maiden's Heart

Theres a woman far older then most, she waits in a forest for the man of a ghost, she embraces him in her dreams on weary nights.

She knows it's getting harder to fight, she wonders if he's truly eating right, if he's hurt, or has he died alone by the cold autumn moonlight?

Oh Its a love deeper then time, like a aged red wine, Oh It's a love deeper entwined, like a golden thread of light.

Oh Its a love no one can kill, it goes on living still, Pray for the Elven Maiden and her Ranger man, Won't you Understand? Understand?

She tries to sleep and not to weep.

Well. Daddy knows inside she's truly weak, his baby is slowly dyeing, dyeing with the turn of the tide, she'll fade slowly in due time, gave up her sweet eternal life, to be with a man, his adopted son and her own brother. It's almost forbidden but she couldn't love another.

Well. Daddy tries to talk some sense into her.

"Go to the sea little baby, don't you love me?
Daddy wants you to go to a land with no pain, can't you hear her voice? The sweet melody of life, she enchants your 'right' choice. Oh Can't you hear the lure of the sea? Can't you hear her? She speaks to you and me."

And She replies with a sad happiness in her eyes.

"Oh Yes Daddy, She does call to me. She promises sweet life and kinship filled harmony.
But His Heart calls more out to me, with such sweet adore. He's everything and more, and the sea. She could not implore. She's tried her hardest to warn, but I can only take the Queen Of Gondor's future door."

Oh It's a Love deeper then time, like a aged red wine, oh it's a love deeper entwined, like a golden thread of light, Oh it's a love no one can kill, it goes on living still, Pray For The Elven Maiden and Her Ranger man, Won't you Understand? Understand?

She's riding in dreadful silence, straight to the sea, her heart is aching, her arms are shaking, she's wondering What if he comes back to me?

And Then she sees, her mind shows her a certain future, indeed It's a man laughing in joyful glee, with a son in his arms, proud and strong, spinning among the oak trees, in a stone walkway where all their children will play, but this path is leading her away!

She thinks to herself

"Not everything in life is certain. But Some things are. And those things are worth fighting for! It's a future with a open door! Oh This I can be sure."

Oh It's a Love deeper then time, like a aged red wine, oh it's a love deeper entwined, like a golden thread of light, Oh it's a love no one can kill, It goes on living still, Pray For The Elven Maiden and Her Ranger man, Oh Won't you Understand? Understand?

Hope aches deep in her heart, she makes a break with her trusty steed, making a decision amongst the Rivendell leaves, some other man in her kin, is yelling something about daddy's heartfelt wish, but she doesn't care, she knows that he's out there, and surely he loves her still, or that future she seen would have no real will.

Oh It's a Love deeper then time, like a aged red wine, oh it's a love deeper entwined, like a golden thread of light, Oh it's a love no one can kill, it goes on living still, Pray For The Elven Maiden and Her Ranger man, Won't you Understand? Understand?

Because Death is worth many things when it comes to the heart, giving up her eternity, for his love is a start, and no one not even the Valar above could deny, the love she holds deep day and night.

She just hopes Daddy understands, that she must wait for her man, she must wait for her man, he has got wars to plan, enemies to defeat, and she'll wait with her fading heart in the deep. Can't you understand?

Please pray for the Elven Maiden and her Ranger man. Understand, Understand?
