Exile

by galadriel

The shore is barren
The sea is wide
The ships have passed
My hopes have died
My eyes aglow
Like Arda star
That lights the hill
Of Tùna far
The elanor
Of Lorien
Bloom ceaselessly
But deep within
Their beauty fades
I seek no more
This exile
From Aman shore
But who am I
To break the spell
For I am but
Galadriel
A ring of gold
A Mordor tower
These alone
Equal such power
I watch the waves
Break on the sea
Listening for the distant place
My eyes will never see

Finally, I got around to writing about my namesake! :) Yeah, I know it'd be kinda hard for Galadriel to watch the sea in landlocked Lorien. (She could have been watching it through her mirror, if you think about it too much.) Still, I think it's pretty decent. Reviews, please?? No flames though. -galadriel
