I do not own nor am I affiliated with Lord Of The Rings or JR Tolkien, I am purely a fan.

Elven dreams

STARS .THERE ARE SO MANY, THEY GLOW AND GLITTER IN THE COLD NIGHTS SKY AND I CAN HEAR THE WARM CRACKLE OF THE FIRE AND WITH THE SOFT BREATHING OF THE HOBBITS AND THE SNORES FROM THE MEN AND THE RAGGED GRUFF BREATHING OF THE DWARF .

MORALS .THEY SLEEP WITH THEIR EYES CLOSED UNAWARE OF WHAT COULD BE AROUND THEM, DREAMING OF THINGS GOOD OR BAD .IM ALWAYS ALERT LISTENING, WATCHING OF THE WORLD AROUND. I DO DREAM BUT WITH MY EYES OPEN. I LOOK AT THE STARS AND MY MIND DRIFTS INTO THE WORLD.

I SEE THE STARS AND THEY BECOME FORMS OF ANIMALS GREAT AND SMALL, THEY DANCE AROUND THE MOONLIT SKY, THE SILVER HORSE GALLOPS AROUND WITH ITS CLOUDY MANE AND TAIL TRAILING BEHIND IT.

THEN WOLVES MADE OF STARS HOWL AT THE MOON AND DISAPPEAR INTO THE CLOUDS AND JOIN THE HORSE DANCING AROUND

WITH OTHER CREATURES BUT THEN SUDDENLY A SILVER BLUE LION JUMPS OUT OF THE CLOUDS AND ROARS THEN ALL THE ANIMALS SWIRL AND BECOME THE SKY AGAIN AND I SNAP OUT OF THE HEAVENLY TRANCE

TO SEE FIVE PAIRS OF EYES FIXED ON ME AND A GRUMPY DWARF .I LOOK AROUND TO SEE MITHRANDIR AND ESTEL BOTH LAUGHING AND EXPLAINING TO THE CONFUSED HOBBITS AND THE MAN EXPLAINING HOW ELVES SLEEP

.PIPPIN WAS ON WATCH AND LOOKED AT ME AND THOUGHT I WAS DEAD ,KILLED IN THE NIGHT AND A FEW MINUTES LATER HE GAINS HIS CONFIDENCE AND ASKS ME A QUESTION .WHAT DO I DREAM ABOUT .I LAUGHED AND EXPLAINED MY DREAM TO THE RATHER CONFUSED HOBBIT WITH THE BEAUTIFUL SCENE PLAYING IN MY MIND.
