Voices of Middle-Earth  by Armariel

~*~Faramir's Awakening~*~

Who would lie idle

gladness and mystery
melded in its deep music.
Wisdom and valour
rose in his sight like mighty statues
flanking a stream of beauty and mercy
that flowed in infinite abundance,
the joyous susurration of its waters
singing in my veins.  A mist
of healing fragrance rose therefrom
laving my mangled senses
as the fingers of an infant,

my pierced and lacerated form

in a pallet of kindness
until the renewal
of my own small power
came to pass.
And from time to time
from within his storied light
the face of a wounded princess
loomed over his shoulder
looking to me
with eyes of wanting
and lucent gloom.

I saw a stellar gate
promising untold treasure
