Eä's Redemption by AaronAzrael  

Ea! (continuation)

The Valar entered in Ea,
so confused and wonderstruck.
For nothing could be seen there,
Time swished the first line on the clock.

They had been creating their Carols,
in the Drafts beyond, the Timeless Hall.
The Dawn of Hours launched its spiral,
the beginning that marked it All.

The world was just a shadow and a song,
they started patiently constructing it,
for rhythm develops progressive among
epochs forlorn now, in effort collective.

Unknown substances, faint remembrance.
All but a spark of memories subconscious.
Finally the Valar reached the resemblance
of a Home for Eru's Children, their promise.

Manwe, Aule and Ulmo,
the architects-in-chief
perfected every detail with hope,
with faith and absolute belief.

Melkor was decaying in vice,
in avidity craving the realm's belt,
to dominate it, deluded, unwise,
despite his gift still innately dwelt.

"This shall be my kingdom,
my name shall it bear,
and all of it will be a dome
of my Idea, so prepare!"

Manwe, his brother, indeed played
the main role of Eru's second song,
so he called upon Spirits mighty and great
to protect Ea before Melkor could do it wrong.

"What is the deed of many
cannot belong to only One.
For their efforts are caring
for Life and its central Plan."

So all compassionate Spirits
together protected Ea's conception.
They cared not for merits,
only for souls to-be-born in perfection.

The Valar obtained colour and form;
the outcome of their Elohimic evolution,
still their essence a Christic code beyond,
unfathomable but a possible expression.

Often they'd present
themselves as Kings or as Queens
Yet the nature is always the absence
of all ... but the secret within.
