Passing West by abeliever13
The golden leaves are falling,
The silver bark fades to gray,
My home is but a memory,
It shall not see another day.
Beneath these boughs I loved, I lived,
But that time is o’er,
I shall now go west,
Across the seas,
Farewell, to Arda’s shores.
I pass away into the mists,
My land is gone from sight,
But I do not fear,
I am not scared,
For soon, there will be light.
Valinor lies ahead,
Where my kin they now reside,
Soon we’ll be together,
Forever, always,
Until the end of time.

Wow, nice poem! I like how you described the darkening of Lothlorien: “Silver bark fades to grey.” Wonderful emotion and imagery! Sweet stuff!!
