Middle Earth Blues

I've got the Middle Earth Blues The imaginary world is threatened by forces of night It will take the strength of brave men, wizards, hobbits elves and men to set things right Life rumbles on in the lands of the Shire as hobbits rest their bones beside the fire Dragons stull terrify men Doesn't seem the troubles will ever end I've got the Middle Earth blues Will light come forth from a darkening sky? One sees the depredations of Sauron and can only ask why The king of men must assume the throne Face fire with love of his own We can see that the Shadow has great power and soon will come the momentous hour Where evil will fall into a pit Where elves, hobbits, dwarves and men ' Can rejoice in getting rid of it My Middle Earth blues are fading away I'll visit that land again one of these days

I have been a member of the American Tolkien society If you want to see more of my Tolkienesque work go to Minas Tirith Evening Star or Beyond Bree - and punch in Matthew Anish. Thank you for your kind words! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

When that light plays after the darkly sky has vanished, oh what a sight it can be, brave soul that you are, you say it so well here. Have a great day dear Matthew .
