Matthew Anish Poet Ballad

Purple Lights Over the Shire

Let's watch purple 
           lights 
              as they pass their
way over the land
    Let's see a purple 
dawn
    Let's move down roads 
as yet unknown 
     to man 
we can dance
upon the moving 
waters
        the sky is 
ominous 
       black riders above 
let's dance down 
        the path of time
We will have
A revelation 
      When we see
the Misty Mountains
    When we watch 
our dawns
         change into 
sparkling elven nights
