Your First Steps

Once a little girl,

Grown up a lost young woman;

Not alone for long.

.o.

Long ago, you remembered,

But now you are just waiting...

.o.

Adventure awaits!

Tell yourself: I can do this.

This is the Falcon?

.o.

Forward: A dangerous path.

But too late, you can't go back.

.o.

Jedi honor code:

Legacy uncontested.

The only right path.

.o.

One you love, gone forever;

Vengeance raging in the night.

.o.

A pull to the Dark,

Promising all desires.

Listen to the Force.

.o.

Voices speaking across time,

Of direction and promise.

.o.

Seeking a teacher,

Know your true path lies ahead:

A little less lost.

.o.

Bringing balance to the Force,

By walking the line between.


A/N — This poem is structured like a Renga poem (except it's not collaborative). Renga poems are structured in a repetitive haiku / couplet format. So the first stanza is three lines, with the first line having 5 syllables, the second having 7, and the third containing 5 again. The second stanza is two lines with 7 syllables each. Then it repeats until the end of the poem.
