WOOHOO! the copying worked. this...this is a dinky little poem that i wrote, i think after reading the last NJO, and MFB said it was depressing so afterward look at the uhms. this 'tis on ff.net as well. 'tis from Luke's POV.
Once...
planets shone with the glory of the republic
their confidance and peace like the seas of Mon Calamari
stormless
safe and like nothing since...
strife
from inside the attack came although the shots were fired
through light and life in the deepness of lost starfields
a prophecy and a fall broke the waters
once
you either stand up for who you are or change who you are
rebels stood and died and killed and laughed and shouted to the skies of a thousand worlds
words of defiance
in Chandrillan
is there even Chandrilan?
once
i waited for my time and prayed and stared into the stars and raised my hand with the losers
who had never been off Tatooine
cheap thrills
gave way to death and revelation and scenes never imagined
and the Force took my imagined destiny and hung it out to dry
over the endless drop off the city in the sky
once
the jewel of the new era would be the praxeum
the Academy
lonliness is not quite dispelled by crowds
then
once
shattered worlds and bodies and dreams
tainted with the mark of the
what did they call it again
the dark side
unifying
again denstiny took me
and others
and caught them up and spit them out and tore their world apart
crushed
jerked from the order of the truth
so much death for truth
the living world
the living Force
so many memories
too many
once
i sat here and wrote and pored my heart out to what
was
once
