I love a ghost, the spirit of the man who was my life; My soul
forever his, my heart a token of his love for me. I crave to
change what has already come to pass, I Extricate all
possibilities to form the only truth I find -
"NO"
What power lies in one small word. It does not help my Aching
body, nor comfort me when I cannot find much needed Sleep, but
had I not screamed it there and then, I would be guilty Of much
worse than grief and loss. Not realizing the inevitable Course
of destiny that day would have shamed my Master's teaching,
Shattered his faith in my abilities and borne reluctance to his
trust - He gave me his life in the boy, his Chosen One, the
surest token of his Love. I accepted it as I accept his death,
though I never wanted to, I Did, and I am grateful for the
chance I have to prove to him that I can Make him proud. Gone
from this world, I have been taught to believe He dwells on yet
another plane, an existence I cannot share, borne Of the Force,
and his own power within its patterns. So he rests With me,
buried in my heart, beating steadily in my soul, giving Me
strength to live, bear and move along the well-worn path that
Destiny has put before me.
The years have passed, blown steadily across the dunes like
desert Sands and here I stand, alone once more, colder than
before. Today I must begin the wait. I longed for it all this
time - another
"NO"
This one so hard and bleak it cut my soul that I had thought
was Irretrievably lost when my true love broke down and died.
The boy, grown up, a man - has run astray, fallen to the depths
Of Darkness - a failure of my quest? I only wish I knew if my
Dear Master feels I have betrayed him, shamed his faith and
Trust, broken the tender bond that held us, led us to give all,
share It, while we lived and loved. I gave away my student to a
power Greater than all I can put up against it - as I once gave
my lover To the flames. I lost my life once again, the Force
has claimed it As it already did all those many years ago.
The sun sets on the desert world where all began and here will
close The circle when the little boy is grown, a man, ready to
face his father. He must conquer fate and find the strength to
be the last Jedi. I am Weary. Nothing left but solitude. Time
stretches age and here I am And wait - again - for my last, my
greatest battle.
"NO"
The last word that I heard. The boy has grown and I have lost
His father. He can find the sparkle in him, bring him back, I
must Keep my place - a shadow by his side. I waited for so
long, and Still there will be years to cover on my own till I
can finally rest Where I have longed to sleep all this time,
all my life.
"NO"
My student woke behind his Dark and faceless Mask and -
Conquering his destiny - opened his son's path towards life.
This is the night I have been waiting for - I will return to
Happiness, will find the source of my love, my life.
"No, I'm no dream, love"
My journey is done, my circle in this eternity complete. My
Master's arms enfold me, my heart has found its Peace and my
soul the one true serenity.
