Title: This Changes Everything (for ESB)
Summary: ESB summed up in poetry.
This changes everything
A probe
Or a meteor
A voice in the cold
A paw to the face
This changes everything
A choice to stay or go
An argument
A funny mental image
This changes everything
A missing man
A concerned friend
A soon to be
Frozen animal
This changes everything
Here and now
A blizzard
A message
A compulsion
There is no going back
This changes everything
A concerned friend
An unconscious man
A shelter
This changes everything
A battle in the snow
A race to escape disaster
There is victory,
There is defeat
And again
The empire reigns
This changes everything
In a swamp
Things to learn
Things to fear
This changes everything
The scoundrel
The princess
In the belly
Of a space slug
A moment interrupted
This changes everything
A test
A failure to believe
and a failure
to heed sound advice
This changes everything
Here and now
A horrifying truth
Uncovered
For better or worse
There is no going back
This changes everything
A man frozen
A woman left alone
This changes everything
And while darkness
Still reigns
The search begins
