    Title: REFLECTIONS

    Author: Magenta_Moonshadow

    Timeframe: Prequel Trilogy

    Summary: Obi-Wan remembers Qui-Gon...

    Genre: Angst, Poetry

    Notes: This is my first attempt at writing Star Wars poetry, so it's more fragmentary than my usual style.

    Parts of verse 6 are taken from my vignette "The Promise", which can be found here: http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/22254436/p1/?26

    Thanks go - as always - to Nienna...:)



    REFLECTIONS


    Green light-saber
    In sturdy hands,
    He guided me and taught me,
    With kind words and compassion,
    The flowing power of the Living Force.

    With far-seeing eyes,
    And a free spirit,
    Yet grounded in the here-and-now,
    He took delight in the small, insignificant things,
    And respected all life,
    No matter how worthless it seemed
    To those around him.

    Strong yet gentle,
    Some called him maverick and rebel,
    Because he followed his heart,
    Wherever it led him.

    Comrades in arms,
    Master and Padawan,
    We fought together side-by-side
    In Jedi brotherhood.

    Cut down by red Sith blade,
    I held him in my arms
    As he lay dying.
    And as I wept,
    He tried to comfort me.

    I felt his mighty spirit
    Leave his broken body far behind,
    To soar on silver wings
    Within the Living Force,
    Which he had humbly served
    All the days of his life.

    If I listen carefully,
    I hear his voice,
    As he speaks to me
    In hushed whispers
    On the wind.

    And I feel his presence,
    As he stands beside me.
    Guiding me,
    As he did before.

    My Master, Father, Friend...
    Neither Sith nor death
    Can truly separate us,

    Now as one with the Force,
    He will live forever...

    ~ THE END ~

    Great job

    Well, I have not great passion for poems, but this is really good.
    Your words perfectly pictured Qui-Gon as Obi-Wan saw him. Very sweet.
    Well done.

    This was just as beautiful as your poem, Remembering Anakin. @};-

    I felt his mighty spirit
    Leave his broken body far behind,
    To soar on silver wings
    Within the Living Force,
    Which he had humbly served
    All the days of his life.
