Headed Home

There is a mist 
on the waters 
    As the ocean laps 
against the shore we 
     realize it is time 
for our journey to begin
   The ship in the harbor 
stands tall
   It will take us 
beyond this vale of tears 
   to a land where 
stories have no endings 
  It will take us 
      over the sundering sea
to a place seemingly foreign to us 
    yet one we actually know well 
    in the deep recesses of our heart
  As we board the ship 
we experience a bittersweet 
   moment
We will miss the joys of Middle Earth
    but we hear the call of Elvenhome
and we know it is time to forsake mortal lands 
Time to head to the place which is our real home 
     Time to head to Elvenhome
