The Dwarf Prince by Nada Adel Sobhi - Poem

  

A mighty warrior with a painful past

Through shadows he treads, and across plains vast

Bearing the burden of a burnt down home

But in this dilemma, he stands not alone.

Years have passed but the fire in him has not died,

He has summoned allies of old to his side.

With a key and a song, his journey begins,

Alongside a Hobbit, a Wizard and thirteen of his kin.

Neither the pain nor the fury will subside,

For regaining his homeland is part of his pride.

Anger, revenge and victory, he seeks

As he passes through dungeons deep and across highest peaks.

For too long he has roamed and waited

The storm in his heart can no longer be abated.

He travels by day and by darkest night.

And for his companions, he will always stand and fight.

The tale of Thorin Oakenshield, the Dwarf Prince will be told,

Who sought not precious gems and glittering gold,

Nor treasures hidden in caverns old,

But for Home, he has travelled through 'the Misty Mountains cold'.
