With Dark Wings

In the cloudy atmosphere Creatures on winged steeds ride overhead These wraiths are full of dark power To the people on the ground it seems like a storm cloud is passing overhead they do not yet know their peril Eyes peer out beneath blacks cowls as the creatures circle over the village They live for evil and destruction Only a truly great hero or wizard can battle them But such people do not inhabit the minds of this small, peaceful villager. Shadows pass thorough the minds of the villagers Soon they will know of the terror Which is certainly overhead.

It's been a long time since I read the Lord of the Rings. But these were possibly in that story?? I know how you love Tolkein!!

Then maybe the answer is other than battle? Something of which a small peaceful villager is mindful? Dark write is right, Matthew, thanks, dig it. Namaste~N
