Written October 11, 2003. The first two lines come from a line of Merry's in The Two Towers movie. If you like this, please review and let me know!

----------------------

The fires will spread
The woods will burn
Those not yet dead
Find doom in turn

The lightning hits
The air, alive
Dreams blown to bits
How to survive?

The moon still sings
The stars yet glow
Of what good things
Can Evil know?

The flow’rs are closed
But just for night
Flee will this ghost
At dawn’s first light.
