Saga "Stars"-- A Luke Skywalker Poem... [freeform]

Stars,
They bring,
New hope?
My life is shattered,
The last remnants,
Scattered like the stars,
They are irretrievable.

Sand,
Once my playground,
Gone?
Will I ever see it again?
It is everywhere,
Swirling,
Scattered,
Shattered.

Suns,
Twin Mothers of the Desert,
Will I ever feel
Your rays?
Or behind me,
Do you lie?

Family,
What does it mean?
They are gone,
I couldn?t save them.
Now,
Is it my fault?

Guilt,
It will forever plague me.
Was it my error,
Or those stupid droids?
Could I have prevented it?
Or saved them?

Destiny,
I will embrace it,
I have to.
What other choices do I have?

Dreams,
Do I dare to dream them?
Or forever will I be haunted,
By the last dream I dared to dream?
Imperial Academy?
Was I so blind?
Am I that naïve?

Joy,
Happiness?
What are these things?
They are memories,
Of a long forgotten life,
That only ended,
Minutes ago?

Sorrow,
And your companion loss,
I thought I knew you.
But I knew nothing.
Now, I am nothing,
Or am I starting anew?

Cold,
Is like death,
Is like space.
It is too far reaching,
And difficult to fathom.
Will I ever,
Understand?

Alone,
Yet not alone.
Hope,
Yet hopeless.
Where am I going?

Skywalker,
What does that name mean?
Am I someone,
Or no one?
Jedi,
Or Farmer?

Hope,
It is all that I have,
To hold on to.
I must embrace it,
I must hold onto it,
What else can I do?

Stars,
They bring,
New hope?
My life is shattered,
The last remnants,
Scattered like the stars,
But I will try to hold on.
I will try to embrace my destiny.
I will try?
