The Deaths of Earthbound Light

• Artist: Laurelin Vardamir
• Description: The Deaths of Earthbound Light personifies Laurelin, and the poem was written through Laurelin’s view. It is based on the twin destructions of Laurelin and Telperion (the Two Trees of Valinor) and the Darkening of Valinor from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion.
  
  Laurelin and Telperion were two trees planted in Valinor, the home of the Vala. Morgoth (the first Dark Lord) and Ungoliant (a huge spider) stole into Valinor and killed the trees.
  
  The trees’ remains became the Sun and Moon.

Young was I while I did still cast golden light,
By Your black sword did you smite.
My life's blood seeped into the ground;
Slowly, it became dark all around.

As Your Spawn drained me dry,
I knew never again would I light the sky.

As I die, She turned to my mate,
and I felt my heart yearn to hate.
From his fallen knight did He take,
and with it, hasten him to join my wake.

Far away did our murderers hide,
Righteous justice forever denied.
Nevermore would Gold and Silver bloom,
in such was our Eternal doom.

Silent is the song that was Golden.
Dark is the Silver light I took solace in.

Long did the two Queens weep,
but forever would our earthly hearts remain asleep.
Somehow we were removed from our darkened mound
and to the sky were our souls unwilling bound.

Thus, forever lonely do we sail the sky,
our greatest desire did Your actions eternally deny.

~Laurelin Vardamir
