Valley of the Four Winds

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Wind on the water, spring in the fields, laughter fills the valley hills.

A new hope, a new home. Remnants of war reprieved at last of burdens carried far and long.

Summer comes, love blossoms in the rose arbor gardens. Lovers’ soft whispers fill the hidden hollows.

Falling leaves bring new laughter, small footsteps play among the crimson trees, while doting eyes watch lovingly.

Like the snow, so sorrows blanket the hills of the hidden valley. Partings of many ways may never meet again.

New flowers bloom in rose arbor gardens, witness of one in solitude, bids farewell at last to home.

Wind on the water, spring in the fields, silence fills the valley hills.

Author’s note: This is the story of Imladris, the interpretation is up to you. The lovers could be anyone, though I did have one couple in mind when I wrote this. I hope you enjoy it.
