Author notes: Thanks go to Zana, Morgynleri & Runa for encouragement & sanity-checking. The first part of this came to me as I was driving through Sedona and up through Oak Creek Canyon. The rest grew from there.
Summary: Namo and Nienna, Vaire and Irmo have the care of spirits as their charge


I

O spin for me thread
From the rocks bloody red

Twine for me yarn
From the mirror dark tarn

Wind for me skeins
Of the silver bright rains

For the Weaver’s great loom
Must be warped with this doom

II

O weave well the works and the deeds of the Noldor
(Tell the Teleri of winds and of tides)
Nienna doth weep for the weary and war-torn
Námo doth send her sore wounded and slain

O dream deep the deeds and the doom of the Noldor
(Of victory the Vanyar will sing ‘neath the vine)
Vairë doth pattern the pleas and the passion
Irmo doth shape within sleep into song

O tell true the trials and tasks of the Noldor
(Ask the Avari of armor and art)
Safe in thy strongholds their spirits reside
Restless and yearning through ages they bide

III

Vairë weave, Nienna grieve
Irmo dream, Námo deem
Feänturi feär keep
Mend and comfort, watch and weep.
