The Jewels

The Silver earrings of the adamanrels
The bards gonna find them... 
Her mother used to dream about them

The silver earrings of the adamanrels

Here is a short little song I came up with yesterday afternoon on my piano. Recently I've found that as I'm going about writing a lot of my stories I'll actually click out of the word processor for a moment, when inspiration seems lost, and I'll try instrad to lift the tale over my piano a bit, and sing it, just to see what I get then, and it is actually yielding some interesting results. Tolkien of course did this often while he would write the various Rings books, and I do think it may have contributed to him reaching the end, as if you read his letters you'll see he often actually suffered to plow through. At any rate, what I find so interesting is the fact that, though this song is only 4 lines, it basically contains an entire book, if not a trilogy, right there within it. Incredible really....
