Eä's Redemption by AaronAzrael  

The Maiar (continuation)

Ilmarë is Varda's loyal helper,
a handmaiden of imperishable care,
alongside the banner-bearer of Manwë,
Eönwë, the greatest martial herald.

Ulmo's Ossë rules the stormy seas,
washing Middle Earth's shores foamy,
his wife Uinen tames his wrath with pleas,
she's the sailors' protector, of mercy.

Melian nourishes Irmo's Lórien gardens,
nightingales sing wherever she goes;
the wisest Maia Olórin appears when
wisdom, hope and comfort are scarce.

The Children of Ilúvatar always rely
on the Higher guidance and support,
incarnations shall turn to the Sky,
for the role is limited; yet not the heart.

Thou, dearest Creatures of Eru,
doomed to empirically prove your faith,
don't despair at Melkor's doom,
for immortal proof is what awaits.
