A Lament for Gilphillad
Gilphillad stands forsaken
Alone in a wild land
Not knowing where to look
No understanding of fates cruel hand
Abandoned, or so it seems
Unashamed at his confusion
Surrounded by crushed dreams
Emotional at his seclusion
A simple journey, no!
His passage still denied
No transfer of his efforts
The path of light had died
A small amount of silver
Is all the journey took
But the expanse of a great ocean
Proved wider than it looked
His master had been taken
To be found in Gilrain’s lair
While he is forced to stay behind
And wallow in despair
To fade and pass into memory
Is all that’s left at last
No triumphal banner or golden host
His future’s in the past
There’s no one left in Nimrodell
No one to raise a toast
He wonders if he’ll ever see
Life’s light upon his coast
Fear not my faithful companion
Forgotten you’ll not be
And once again we’ll walk Middle Earth
So Turbine have told me.
(OOC - Written in August 2013 when I moved from Nimrodell to Gilrain and discovered I couldn't transfer my characters from NA to EU servers. At the time Turbine said it may be possible but that's obviously no longer the case. Never fear Gil is reborn to stride the lands of Middle-earth again
