Eä's Redemption by AaronAzrael  

Of Fëanor and the Release of Melkor

It happened so that Finwë took
for a second wife Indis the Fair;
one of the Vanyar; she didn't look
similar to Miriel; nothing to compare.

She was Ingwë's close relative;
and her hair was purely golden,
she was svelte and light, positive;
Finwë fell in love and smiled again.

The shadow of Miriel didn't leave
neither his home, nor his heart;
and the son he praised most and believed
in, was Fëanor, who'd still depart.

For Fëanor didn't fancy his father's new marriage;
he bore no love for Indis or her sons,
who were Fingolfin and Finarfin he'd disparage,
so he lived separately, exploring Aman.

He was too busy with adventures through the land,
he collected wisdom and secrets of his crafts, hence;
regarding the events that later on occurred unplanned,
many souls blamed them on their home's severance.

Had Finwë overcome his deadly sorrow,
had he dedicated all his inner virtue and not mourn,
to the raising, in the name of the new tomorrow,
of his son who, instead, was somewhat cold and stern;

fate wouldn't lead to the curses of Fëanor,
unfortunate chains of occurrences would be avoided;
great evil would be prevented, for their misdemeanor
marked the Noldor life records; providence exploited.

Yet Indis' children were mighty and glorious,
the story of the Eldar would have lost a lot
if they hadn't come to life, these spirits victorious,
so Eru's All-seing Eye knows what or what not.
