Eä's Redemption by AaronAzrael  

Of the coming of the Elves and the captivity of Melkor 4

"This is why the Elves, in dire, heavy hours,
will call upon Varda for her guidance and help,
for she is the Creator of their favourite stars,
for them she's the Source of the Light of the Well."

Varda, so touched by that sentimental speech,
left the Concil of the Valar to look towards Middle Earth,
where, amid the darkness of the land, the skies were rich
of stars, so beautiful and pale, expecting Elven birth.

So Varda started crafting her new work of grace,
the greatest one upon the arrival of the Elohim here,
she took silver dew from Telperion's lakes
and created brighter stars for the Firstborns dear.

At first, when Eä was created,
Tintallë was Varda's surname,
yet a new one, Elentári, got equated
to it in the Elven language; famed.

In those days Varda wrought
many stars by her beloved:

Carnil and Luinil,
Nenar and Lumbar,
Alcarinquë and Elemmírë;

And many of the ancient ones
she gathered and she re-arranged
as signs across the heavens,
to guide Arda's bravest rangers.

Among them:
Telumendil and Soronúmë,
Wilwarin and Anarríma;

Also, Menelmacar, its core,
a shining belt it bore,
the Last Battle - foretelling
at the end of the days, overwhelming.

And high in the North, as a challenge to Melkor,
Varda put there the brilliance of the Elder,
by uplifting to wander in the skies
the crown of seven brilliant stars,

Valacirca,
the fateful Sickle
Love of the Valar,
or the helping star.
