"yavanna" poems
Yavanna Kementari
The giver of fruits
The mother of trees
The mother of roots
Creator of Laurelin
and Telperions light
The light of the trees
Put an end to the night
She created the moon
She created the sun
With a flower, a fruit
And with light it was done
She is our lady, tall and green
She is our mother
Our beautiful queen

The sky above him layered in
Like waves upon the shoal
And all the mountains knew his name
And he their waving roll
The earth beneath his treading feet
Turned stones like mortal coils
And all the footprints knew his path
And depth above the soil
His shoulders stood above the trees
A crown of stars his ears
And all the shadows couldn't bear to see
Nor stand beneath him in fear
Beyond no borderlings he'd step
Unless his heart was called
And with him birds would often sing
And perch on him their wall
As the waterlilies craved his touch
So to mortality, he was bound
And then off the earth one day he walked
Never again to be found
But still the memories of mid-earth
Hold fast in root and stem
For once a guardian walked this way
As a tree with a beard of men

*Hold my hands, look into me and see the truth.
Meet me in the deepest part of the glowing forest.
If your heart is there, next of Gondolin, the same as mine.
How beautiful the stars to shine atop our heads.
Like the crowns of old. As the glowing trees ignite your eyes.
As mine have glistened at this very thought.
Perhaps to meet you there at all,
Would make my heart glow as a Silmaril.
For not even I know when this glow was crafted.
Formed out of the unknown and the song.
I wait for you.
Though to Varda your eyes,
And Yavanna your heart may forever belong.*
