Eä's Redemption by AaronAzrael  

Of the beginning of days (...x10 next continuation)

Eru established the heart of the mortal man
to not find peace solely in the world of Arda,
yet to seek beyond its borders and to find
deeper truths; for there was the Musical Law that

was the marginal ultimate manifestation
for all form within to develop in reach, vitally;
the effort and deed of men in formation
would accomplish the world's goal, entirely.

Yet the strife for power, Eru did know,
would lead to frequent straying from their path,
so they'd often usurp their gift and throw
away the primary creational talent, in wrath.

For avidity is the true reason behind
the ego's yearning to possess dominion;
or the vainglory for the others to find
your own persona as the fairest in opinion.

Such power doesn't really crave a skill;
it is useless and weak at the very core;
losing the capability to distinguish so still,
leading to foolishness in decisions' lore.

Yet karmic patterns know how to lead,
intertwining destinies and lessons learnt;
at that times honour becomes a creed
that turns the self victorious and grand.

Bravery and the beauty of principle,
they would save both Elves and Men.
Virtues would cleanse their planet, hence,
from debauchery and restore its heaven.

Evil's dimness is a state of alchemical Nigredo,
that has to be transmuted in a state of pain,
washing away impurities in the insight of Albedo,
immortality of the Rubedo, in I AM Self sustained.

Who knows what bore the consciousness of Eru,
unfathomable mystery for lower creatures of the world.
For he declared, already patiently prepared to
witness the breaking of his Law, unheard.

"Men shall know that all they do
will contribute to the glory of my Work."
So... Creation follows and pursues
in all its entirety the Creator's Arc.
