Siri, my eternal love


The soft subdued light of the early afternoon sun shone in the room highlighting the short stubble of hair on the head of the man sitting in a comfortable chair with an old brown comforter wrapped around him.

On the table next to him was a lightsaber gleaming and appearing pristine, not used at all. And it wasn?t used yet.
He had constructed it in the morning, going with his friends to the hall of crystals, situated in one of the oldest parts of the Jeditemple, situated in one of the caves that had been in the mountain since the time they were formed by nature.

He remembered a dream and a soft smile appeared on his face.

Siri, she was his great love.

And he was sure she would return when the time was right. He remembered the words she had spoken before he left with his master on that mission to Naboo and the disk she had given him with the song.

Never really said too much
Afraid it wouldn't be enough
Just try to keep my spirits up
When there's no point in grieving
Doesn't matter anyway
Words could never make me stay
Words will never take my place
When you know I'm leaving

Try to leave a light on when I'm gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night
A naked light, a fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I'm gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it's late at night you can look inside
You won't feel so alone

A light, yes he had been dreaming about light before he went to the hall of crystals.

He had been dreaming about Siri; Siri, shining and smiling and he running towards her.
Embracing her and kissing her softly on her lips.

He gazed towards the bed, snuggling comfortably in the worn comforter.

And the words of the song came to his lips and he murmured them.

You know we've been down that road
What seems a thousand times before
My back to a closing door and my eyes to the seasons
That roll out underneath my heels
And you don't know how bad it feels
To leave the only one that I have ever believed in

Try to leave a light on when I'm gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night
A naked light, a fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I'm gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it's late at night you can look inside
You won't feel so alone

He gazed outside and saw the birds in the tree feeding their chicks.

?They aren?t alone. They are together with their young ones. And no, I am not alone either. I have many friends here in the Jeditemple. I have Anakin, my adventurous Padawan. But I miss you. Siri do you remember this song? Do you remember these words?

Sometimes it feels like we've run out of luck
When the signal keeps on breaking up
When the wires cross in my brain
You'll start my heart again
When I come along

Try to leave a light on when I'm gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night
A naked light, a fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I'm gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it's late at night you can look inside
You won't feel so alone

?I know you do. And you will come back to me.
You were in my dream.
You were a being of light.
Siri, my eternal love.'

FIN

 

You made me cry here, dear bird. So much beauty and sweetness!

 

?I know you do. And you will come back to me.
You were in my dream.
You were a being of light.
Siri, my eternal love.'

*sigh*

That was so beautiful



It's nice to imagine Siri bringing Obi-Wan comfort and happiness during his time on Tatooine.

Great response to the challenge
