The silmarillion

The silmarillion - The fall of Gondolin

The silmarillion is one of the epics among numerous written by JRR Tolkien under Middle Earth Legendrium. The fall of Gondolin is one of the chapters of "the Silmarillion" and personally for me the saddest. Here I've tried to put my despair on a pen over its destruction.

O' Gondolin

Why did you fall

You were the guardian of the fair

You were the beauty of heaven.

You were love of Turgon

You were foe of Melkor.

You were destiny of Tuor

You were lust of Maeglin

You were guardian of eldar.

You were death to dark.

You were deceived by a traitor.

You were raised to hell

You were the first

You were the final

After you

no one could escape darkness's tallion.

You children perished.

Valour was lost

But

O' Gondolin

Despair not

From your ashes

Star of west was born

O' Gondolin

There will never be

the green trees

the white halls

the clear sky

O' Gondolin

Why did you fall.
