Happy Valentine’s Day from @thesecretofthehouseofbourbonbook.
Celebrating Tolkien Week with a few bits of poetry and verse from The Kingdom of the Woodland Realm Trilogy (probably in The Writings 😏)
Sorry. I just had to do this.
“This is their temple, vaulted high, And here we pause with reverent eye, With silent tongue and awe-struck soul; For here we sense life’s proper goal.” -Joseph B. Strauss // Muir Woods | GarettPhotography
Something from the earliest days of The Kingdom of the Woodland Real Trilogy.
Passing is the night As darkness takes the light Until the dawn brings the sun And a new day will have begun In the light all that is shown Not all is good, not all is known.--J.M.Miller
Think of me...
I agree. ☺️
Thranduil's Last Lament. From TKWR: Writings (Appendix). The Kingdom of the Woodland Realm Trilogy. @becauseiamrealelf. @leepacesweetfantasy. @peonies-and-poppies. @fortunatelyclevercandy. @indomitablemegnolia. @theothermegnolia. @earrinde-lancaeriel. @elvesunderstarlight.
Oh just a poem I wrote once that I discovered that I wrote 99 years to the day J.R.R. Tolkien went to war in 1916. I also wrote one of Thranduil and Êlúriel’s most romantic moments on March 22, 2016--100 years to the day of when Tolkien married Edith. I don’t believe in accidents. Everything happens for a reason. So much comes to me and I fear it greatly. With all things good or bad, there is a fear. Fear of success, fear of failure. Fear of loss, fear of gain. Fear of rejection. Fear of acceptance. Beyond each fear there lies something greater than ourselves that gives us courage to go on--especially if you have friends by your side.
"One day I will sail away, To forever will I go. What dreams will come I will not say, Nor will the winds say so." --TKWR: Writings by J.M.Miller Celebrating its one year anniversary as one of the verses to be found within The Kingdom of the Woodland Realm Trilogy. Keeping the tradition of Tolkien by telling stories within stories in verse.
Rule With Thy Heart
It is you, beloved father,
Who hath died by my side,
That taught me: forever respect the other;
Rule with thy heart and not with thy pride.
Beautiful.

That’s Deep. Love it.
