Eä's Redemption  by AaronSecret

(...) Chapter III. The Great Music of Creation (next continuation)


Fear grasped the Ainur's hearts,
mixed with unfathomable premonition;
they couldn't comprehend the source,
so full of incalculable precision.

They didn't try to force the insight;
they just trusted Eru's verdict.
The only one to start a fight
was Melkor, internally sick.

Their secrets were known to God.
He accepted them with patience.
A loving Father in his timely thought
that develops in rectification.

Melkor rebelled, Eru kept silent.
It was not the time of lectures.
The Creator, after their assignment,
let them observe their reflections.

Whatever they had Created,
now stood alive before them,
it was strictly activated
and they awed before their realms.

Vivid music, geometrical forms,
shaped the elemental kingdom,
four elements controlling the dome,
where the Golden Ratio took forms.

Embryos, respiration, blood,
every atom, molecule and shell,
shaped Arda's kingdom loved,
the Gift of Life for every cell.

The ocean hitting primordial shores,
the rock in lava gushes forming,
the air equal to life's own force,
fire immortalising by warming,

Every Elohim stood and rejoiced,
yet slightly melancholic within,
for all perceived the horror of noise,
for pain was yet to cleanse the sin.

Eru called them to the Void,
the Matter that Manifests.
Suddenly! Life's birth Ovoid
took care of all the rest.

Melkor, in anger falling apart,
usurping Creational power,
was conspiring how to thwart
his brethren's beautiful flowers.

Yet life is an ecosystem,
that always fixes the math,
which solves every problem,
chaos - a driving force, a path.

Eru smirked, though sad a bit,
for the suffering of fragile creatures
always a priority of mercy's shield,
yet inevitable due to breaches.

He let them observe for a while,
then he uttered the meaning,
in the background Melkor hostile,
the rest were evergreening:

"Behold your Music! This is your minstrelsy; and each of you shall find contained herein, amid the design that I set before you, all those things which it may seem that he himself devised or added. And thou, Melkor, wilt discover all the secret thoughts of thy mind, and wilt perceive that they are but a part of the whole and tributary to its glory." - J.R.R Tolkien quote
