The Forgotten People (The Dead of Dunharrow)

~~~

Prompts:
8th March 3019: The Dead receive their summons

~~~

The Forgotten People

Do the Dead hear?
Only the whisper of voices on the wind, and the rattle of bones.
But they listen for the horn in the hills.

Do the Dead see?
Only the eyes of each other, hollow and hopeless.
But they search for the figure at the Door.

Do the Dead feel?
Only the weight of years, the chain of their broken oath.
But they remember time before this time, the world of life and light.

Do the Dead know?
Only that they are forgotten.
They know they are forgotten.

Till the Dead are called
And come at the command.
