In the beginning...
Through the formless Void there came,
Far beyond the grey stars' flight;
His face of flame, His eyes of Light
A ring of embers, burning bright.
-o-
Before our lesser world began
His shining fingers grasped the quill,
And wrote across the empty span
The burning Song of His great will.
-o-
And from His endless mind there came
The Ainur, His great work begun,
In their bright eyes there burned the Flame
That rests within Eru - the One.
-o-
The Song unfurled in harmony
'Til Melkor's theme, in pride conceived,
Fell through shame to sorcery,
An Evil none had as yet dreamed.
-o-
The Song rings still, through countless years,
In hidden chords, the old Refrain;
Eru remembers all the fears
His children feel, and all their pain.
Wow. Please don't ask where this came from, because I'm not exactly sure. I know, I know, it's REALLY weird - but when I was writing this, especially the second and last stanzas, God came to mind. No, I DON'T mean that Eru is somehow God, but it just reminded me of creation, and of how much God cares about us. I am a Christian, id you are wondering. Please excuse my authoress ramblings. :)
