The Riddle
Lone on the hilltop with bare feet stand I,
Tranquil and strong as I look to the sky.
List’ to my whispers; hear the hoarse sound.
See my bent fingers, by harsh sunlight browned.
Though, mottled and wrinkled, my skin waxes old,
Glance upward: my hair is not silver, but gold.

This reminds me of LOTR. We love Tolkien, and my sister especially adores C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia. I never got the charge of happiness from those, I preferred Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, but that's just me. I don't read a lot....
I'd just rather spend all of my free time drawing! 
But after being FORCED to read all of the LOTR, I found that they weren't so bad-simply, rather long....
I love this poem, it made me think of the words: bittersweet, lonely, achievment, happiness, sadness, tranquility and serenity, heaven, and last breath. 
Beautiful was another word to describe this poem, but also to describe you! 
Thank you for writing so beautifully, it all seems to come from your heart, which in every way is a wonderful thing!
