For the Lady by Glasiel

Elbereth’s gifts above us shine,
Lighting our path deep into night
Eyes reflect myriad lights so fine
Now glimmering as one when they combine.

Shimmering with sparkle fleeting
Into the Lady’s fair, keen sight
Look in her eyes and see the greeting,
“A star shines on the hour of our meeting.”

Lady of light, glowing from within
Under mellyrn in the star filled night
Mirrored in her cheeks, her brow, her chin
Eyes reflect stars like they are her kin.
Now she peers and without speaking –
Naught is hidden from her keen sight

Open are all hearts to her seeking
Mind to mind, into your thoughts peeking.
Eyes reflect stars twinkling high above
Never again can you forget this light.
Thoughts shared you feel not worthy of
Illuminated by the gifts of Varda’s love.
Eye seeks eye, your soul befriending
Lost once for all time in her eyes bright.
Vast and deep, and never ending
O’er all your senses yet ascending.
