Tom Bombadil and Goldberry are the very spirits of all living things in Middle Earth. They are the 'root' of all that exists there, and while there they are more fundamental and hence powerful than the Ainur themselves; " ... Tom went singing out into the ancient starlight, when only the Elf-sires were awake." Its is the singing that created the world.
