Eä's Redemption by AaronAzrael  

The Maiar

The Valar, agents of the greater force,
have assistance in their service.
The Maiar, crucial is their part
in the structure of the universe.

Once the world was shaped,
the beings started governing it;
the world's development they traced,
intermediance covered herein.

Ambassadors between the earthly, the divine,
guiding all natural phenomena,
influencing Middle-Earth's path and design,
history building, autonomous.

Gandalf, Saruman and Radagast,
Melian, the evil Mairon,
cosmic order's functions everlast,
under their guided wisdom.

The universe originated in the mind.
Musical expression of divinest rightness.
Gandalf rarely involves directly, mild,
subtle direction rather than brute force.

Higher realities in correspondence
transpire what happens on the lower plane,
material and spiritual simultaneous
realities intertwine; the agents, hence

have to be careful not to disbalance,
the justice of the Law is absolute,
the fine line of pushing forward to advance
and holding back, enabling the resolute.

Vibration of motion and energy,
cosmic harmony does unify,
separation from the synergy,
results in discord that amplifies.

Mairon was a Maia of Aulë, revolt,
great skill in craftmanship and discipline,
his pedantic desire to control,
resulted in corruption, oh, ambitious son.

Cause and effect, rarely direct change,
rather a chain of subsequential decision,
the greedy heart becomes a cage,
humble spark of bravery - fruition.

All things move in circles, in cycles,
mirrored in the rise and the falls,
but what's restored remains vital,
if you nourish it, harmonious, in law.

What has fallen, will be transmuted,
lessons learnt at painful cost,
and... the Maiar are recruited
to help, so no one's lost.
