Star Wars Poetry Extravaganza

Author's note: I'm seeing an image that I'm having trouble putting into words. I want to write a poem, but words will not come. I want to write a drabble, but it seems too short. I see a picture. I think it needs to be drawn, but I'm no artist.

I see Obi-Wan. He is the Obi-Wan of the OT. I see Anakin of the PT. Anakin kneels in front of Obi-Wan, hanging on his robes, head down and tears flowing. Obi-Wan has a hand on Anakin's shoulder looking at him in all peace, love, and forgiveness. Yes, I know. It sounds like a religious icon, and and, to tell the truth, I see Obi-Wan's forgivness in the Force much like that of Jesus'.

What do you think?

Forgiveness

Laying against the bulkhead,
He let out his final breath,
A moment with his son,
Then onward into death.

Suddenly free of armor
And all its needed aid,
He marveled at the freedom
And was no longer afraid.

He was young, once again
A knight from days gone by,
His body fully restored,
No scar above his eye.

He drifted in the ether
Without want or need
Memories washing over him
Reminding of his deeds.

The freedom soon evaporated
And soon, he stood, again,
In the very place he killed
His once and future friend.

As he faded when struck down
His friend, again, returned
Out of the Force, restored
To bring a message unearned.

At the sight of his old mentor,
To his knees he fell,
In anguish, regret, and sorrow,
From a never ending well.

As his father drew ever closer,
His will gave way for good,
His brother stopped in front of him,
And drew back his hood.

His grey hair and beard
Were neatly cut and trimmed,
His brown robes were flowing
Their color never dimmed.

He smiled in genuine gladness
To see his son again,
To have the opportunity
To break his brother's chains.

"It is good to see you, Young One
Your heart has long been hidden,
But in this place of mercy,
Your sins are all forgiven."

At these joyous words,
He stood before his friend
Wrapping his arms around him
Already on the mend.

As the two walked arm in arm
And faded to the light,
Another man stood at peace
Knowing he was right.
