I Sit Beside The Fire

By
Industry Observer

 

 

"I sit beside the fire and think
of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring
that I shall ever see."

 

Excerpt from Bilbo's song “I Sit Beside the Fire and Think” from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Book II, Chapter 3 (“The Ring Goes South”) By J. R.R. Tolkien

Such a sad poem.  One that each one of us will endure.

And we never know when our last winter will be.

By the way, love the AI generated photo. It's amazing what we can do with those tools.

Such a beautiful and reflective choice, Cheryl. Tolkien’s words always stir something timeless in the heart — a quiet reminder to pause, reflect, and cherish the seasons we have. The image pairs perfectly with the mood of the poem.
