A Long - Expected Vacation

The troubles we face are rising like the sea itself The waters are rising up around us Time for us to take a vacation An inner vacation prompted by reading the famed tale of the One Ring We shall leave these shores Travel to lands full of mystery and wonder A respite from clocks, cars and clutter We'll fly on gossamer wings to new and unknown sites O! to see the elves as they head westward to watch as dwarves work their magic in stone to speak with wise wizards and enjoy the Shire in autumn full from a rich harvest and honeycombs dripping with the sweetest honey Yes, we'll take a long - expected vacation Our real lives lie somewhere near Middle Earth Waiting to be discovered
