[LOTR] Something Devoutly to be Wished. For the Nightwish Roulette Mini Game

Something Devoutly to be Wished

@Mira_Jade gave us the amazingly exquisite Nightwish Roulette; #3 is Sleeping Sun

Lyrics:
"The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest

For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime

I wish for this night-time to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping, weeping, with you

Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I’d sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go

Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet’s play
Until there’s nothing left to say

I wish for this night-time…
I wish for this night-time…"
Disclaimer: I own nothing but love everything.

Celeborn recalled when he first saw Galadriel, her tresses a radiant as shimmering gold; her eyes full of the brilliance of stars.

Through countless years, they stood together against Dark foes, forged a bastion of courage and wisdom.

In the final triumph, there was a serenity and gladness, and yet . . .

Underlying it all was the knowledge that their paths would not continue always together.

Hers would diverge.

Knowing this, neither would have chosen differently, would not have eschewed the chance to share their life's purpose, hopes, joys, and sorrows.

Celeborn wished that some clemency or unlooked for gift would be granted, to her for her part in the struggle, that their hearts and souls might continue on together across the Sundering Seas.

Love always to see a beautiful insight into Celeborn and his thoughts on Galadriel

 

Thank you! I love all the great pairings in the Tolkien worldscape.
