Unless I Fall....


Broken, spent, a grain
falls upon the blasted earth.
Sam’s arms enfold him.



I tell you, most solemnly,
unless a wheat grain falls on the ground and dies,
it remains only a single grain;
but if it dies, it yields a rich harvest. - John 12:24
- Mrs. Frodo

For King Elessar

Weathered hands healing
Wise heart measuring justice
King for the Fourth Age
- Bregalad


I'm responsible
It's all my fault Gandalf's dead
How can I go on?

I chose Moria
I thought the route would be safe
Alas, I was wrong

How can they trust me
It's all my fault Gandalf's dead
I'm responsible

Though having passed through the flames

5 for Bilbo

Pocket handkerchief
Seems to have been forgotten.
Did I lock the door?


Riddles in the dark:
Desperate competition;
The way out, or death.



What have I got in
My pocket? Had I but known
What I truly held…



Blade of Gondolin,
Bright steel, black with spider blood,
I shall name you Sting!



Deep within his lair,
Conversing with a Dragon -
Must be careful here!

Creeping in the night
Choking people at his will
