a scene in the animated lord of the rings movie. Gandalf the grey is standing in a lush green forest, wearing grey robes, and a blue pointy wizard's hat while wielding a staff. He's pointing up as if to think of something, and the image is captioned "It's never too late to start something over, including a new version of yourself."

After the Days of Slaughter When the company shut down bricks were carried south to the border The ferry in the dock and the busses in the yard were no longer buried under 100-foot smokestacks The man in the moon hid his face from the bar of the revolving restaurant in the multinational hotel The light from his cigar gone out we buried Father in his best suit beneath a radio tower and left an accordion and a rose as tribute. All the painters came north to see trees shed leaves of brilliant colour Voices of ghosts crept out of the lakes Fish jumped 200-fect into the cradle of the sky
