Love Resurrected

by Susan Zahn

Leia, oh sweet Leia!
I knew you'd come for me.
The one who loves me truly--
Dear gods, please let me see!

You cradle me in your tender arms.
Do I look that pitiful a soul?
If only I could see your face...
Still, blind, with you I feel whole.

It was your final words, Princess,
That helped me through that hell.
Your words and that last farewell kiss,
With passion our fears couldn't quell.

But now I'm back with you, Leia.
Can't help wondering how long it's been.
What events have taken place
To find us in Jabba's foul den?

Right, Sweetheart, let's get out of here.
I'll just need to be shown the path.
Then we'll pick up the loose ends of our love.
...Oh Maker, I know that laugh...
