My life as a whole has been completed:
The ring of power is melted rock goo,
The army of doom has been defeated,
And Legolas still has shiny hair, too.
Aragorn and Arwen are together,
Denethor is a flaming cannonball,
Merry and Pippin danced a jig with beer,
And Gimli the dwarf grumbled through it all.
All should be right in my own little world,
Yet sadness wells within my hobbit heart
As sure as the hair on Sam’s head is curled.
It is done; my life, my love, my passion.
I can feel it is the end of all things,
This Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.
