Hello, my friends! Now that the Lord of the Rings blog series has finished, I realized that it’s been a while since I shared some poetry with you.
So, here you go: your latest poetry fix! This one’s a little more ambiguous, but it holds a special place in my heart. Enjoy!

Dear wayfarer,
Splash, splash,
fall, crash,
battle beast and fiery foe.
Blast, blast,
quick: dash,
journey to worlds ne’er seen before.
follow the cry,
with your far-sighted eye
that sees the seas swell
in excitement.
Sail, sail,
hear the wail
of winds and waves that wreck.
Fail, fail,
and tell the tale
of your exploits when you come back.
Back home, home,
the echo and drone,
where I sit waiting
with brown parchment write
the worlds, the lands,
far as I stretch my hands,
this as far as I e’er go.
So go, go
through sun and snow,
wandering wilderness with
no compass.
Learn, learn,
build and burn,
and tell me everything
when you return.
Awaiting your story,
The Scribe
