The Lost Jewel
Amongst the filthy rags
Of the wraiths’ fleeing
What they left behind
A soft glowing could be seen
A lost Shadowfire
Whose could it be?
What does it mean?
Lost jewel in the forest of green
That wraiths had in their possession
Something of extraordinary beauty
Piercing cry from the eagle above
I looked upward
And knew
What I had in my hand
Must be given
The eagle turned to the west
It had led me here
I felt in my heart
What was true
What was best
That Moondust and I
Must carry the Shadowfire
To a new land
