| Post subject: | eowyn sonnet |
this is an improved version of a poem i entered for a sonnet competition right here on a-u. it's based on the passage in the houses of healing where eowyn talks about standing on the edge of an abyss. On the Brink I stand upon the brink of a chasm deep and wide. All is dark below me; I cannot turn to find the light. I fear my nerve will fail me ere I reach the other side, But I must stand and wait and watch for the ending of this night. Now with you stood here beside me I no longer feel the chill – For the first time since the Darkness, I feel that we could win. And for this moment all is quiet, for this moment all is still; Time has halted surely and the world has ceased to spin. You said that you had found something and maybe you spoke true – I feel like I have found some hope in this prevailing gloom. But now my head’s in disarray and I don’t know what to do; How could I find happiness in this very hour of doom? Your smile has warmed the hope that I long believed was dead And your kind and gentle eyes make my heart war with my head. |
