WAITING IN THE NIGHT
Why do these icy halls have to echo
so loudly? I can see the doors are closing
the battering blizzard outside.
The reverberating sounds ripple,
refusing to die down; taunting my
fear for Luke and Han.
Threepio is no comfort, spouting
exact odds against their survival -
as if that's something I want to know.
Chewbacca's worried too - I'm sure he
knows of many times Han risked his life
for someone else. He risked his life
for me - going into an Imperial detention
center to help rescue someone he'd never
even seen.
So, here we are, each with their own
thoughts and fears for those in the storm
We're anxious for their safe return and
there's nothing else we can do….except.
….wait in the night.
