Eä's Redemption by AaronAzrael  

Of the Silmarils and the unrest of the Noldor

Fëanor and Fingolfin, precious Finwë's sons,
were great rulers and everyone dignified them in Aman;
yet pride in their souls for rights and control won,
and Melkor took advantage of their weakness in common.

The Vala spread new lies in Eldamar,
and soon Fëanor overheard the hearsay;
that Fingolfin and his sons lately were
determined to overthrow Finwë... and his heir.

The deep reason behind this wicked scheme
apparently was that the Valar wanted
the Silmarils outside of Tirion's regimen,
to fall under their dominion; warranted.

Fingolfin and Finarfin, reluctant to forgive,
were reached by other convincing nonsense;
"Beware! The proud son of Míriel has no love
for Indis' offsprings; he will banish you, hence,

from Túna, as he has a tight grip of his father,
he has gathered strength and has become mighty,
he does not consider you to be truly his brothers,
all he cares for is his own glory; oppose him!"

When Melkor saw that his lies were lingering;
the Noldor were full of arrogance, wrath and vice;
he started whispering of weapons, triggering
the launch of the forging of swords, axes, of spikes."

They crafted shields, decorated by the emblems
of many tribes and families, from which rivalry stormed;
they spoke to no one of their arsenal's assemblage,
for everyone though they were the only one forewarned.

Fëanor built a secret workshop; that Melkor knew not;
where he forged swords for himself and his sons,
he crafted high helmets; red feathers on them he put,
Mahtan mourned for sharing his science once,

with Fëanor and Nerdanel, the wife of the Elve.
Apparently, this knowledge should have stayed hidden;
for the fools spilled the sacred wisdom, thus expelled;
for God's mysteries shall not be abused as forbidden

misuse of what was confided for unity's purpose;
deeds to be rectified through some painful lessons;
the debt - repaid, save for repeated mistakes, or worse;
and patience is the only means to end the trials' sessions.
