This sort of poem, is in Qui Gon's POV. He is watching Obi Wan as he struggles with his duty and life. It is long, but I just couldn't summarize it all.


Through time
Through space
Through life

My dear Padawan, I am watching you.

As you struggle
As you smile
As you talk

Sometimes,

Your voice wavers
Your smile fades
Your gaze lowers

Yet still, you stand.

My son,
My child,
My Padawan.

I see you, as you wonder

About my last words
About this promise
About your place

Your a knight
You are a Master
You are a general

You wonder sometimes if I would be proud of you...

I am, my son.

Empathy
Courage
Truthfulness.

Indeed, it seems that I have been successful.

My last words still

haunt you
hurt you
burn you.

And your gaze falls on your Padawan
And your voice calls your Padawan
And your arms hold your Padawan.

Yes, you have well remembered my lessons.
Keep your concentration here and now, where it belongs.

And now, I wish I could change my last words
And now, I wish I had thought about you before my duty
And now, I wish you could hear my voice...

Reminding you,
Telling you,
Comforting you,

My Padawan,

I will always be proud of you.
I will always care about you.
I will always love you.

From the youthful Padawan
To the solemn Master
From the youthful face
To the solemn look.
From the youthful grin
To the solemn smile

Time passes, and you change.

Duty
Love
Grief

You face them courageously yet humbly.

I watch you,

as you stumble
as you fall
as you rise

And I am proud of you, my Padawan.

Proud of your resilience
Proud of your empathy
Proud of your faith.

Do you feel me?
Do you hear me?
Do you see me?

As I think about you
As I try to encourage you
As my hand is placed on your shoulder.

Serenely
Peacefully
Calmly

You face a new day.

The very principles of the Order crumble
The very foundations of the Temple crumble
The dreams of a peaceful republic crumble

Night falls on you, my Padawan.

You stand.

Your heart is breaking but you keep on going.

Broken yet still standing
Hurting yet still fighting
Bleeding yet still hoping

I see you, as you face what I have faced.

Your brother,
Your son,
Your apprentice

with darkness
with anger
with hate

In his eyes
In his words
In his actions.

This is not the end my Padawan.

Only I can see

the dark circles around your eyes
the new lines on your face
the deep crease on your brow

My son.

And now, it all has faded away.

You are alone
You are forlorn
You are forsaken.

In the dark night.

Kneeling in the sand,

you think
you meditate
you pray.

At last,
I can reach you.
At last,
I can talk to you.
At last,
I can appear to you.

There is yet one last duty awaiting you,

My Son
My Padawan
My Obi Wan

You have not failed.

There is still a chance.
There is still hope.
There is still Luke.
And you are not alone:

Hope will be your constant companion
The Force will be your constant companion
And through her, I will be your constant companion.

And, the Force will be with you... Always.
