Beyond the Shadow
Beyond the Shadow that you cast, lies my future.
Beyond the Shadow that I follow, is my life's dream.
Our time together is short, you have said as much yourself.
My trials await, if not this year, then during the one that follows.
I think about what life will be like without your constant presence.
I know we will always be connected, and I have your promise that you will always walk with me.
But I can't help but wonder what lies beyond your shadow.
I suppose that I am headstrong and stubborn, yet I choose not to change.
I have learned from the best.
Have I made you proud? Will I be your legacy?
Beyond the Shadow that is yours, perhaps I fear the unknown.
Beyond the Shadow that has led me, I will no longer follow.
For 12 years, Qui-gon, I have fought for this dream. To become a Jedi Knight. My entire life, focused on this one goal.
Yet, at this unsure time in my life, the warmth and comfort of that shadow, is all I seek.
It is only there that I am safe and I am protected from the uncertainty that lies beyond…
beyond your shadow.
