Anakin's Prayer
by Robert Rhoden
The Force flows in my blood, a gift, a call

  To see the Light and Darkness of the worlds

Through which we run yet stumble, fly yet fall,

  Yet rise again, higher, on starlit winds.

O love, your love flows warm there too: a gift,

  A call of gentle flame untouched by night,

Shining above the deep and unbridged rift

  That I must one day cross-and you must not.

Love, angel of sunlight, keep watch for me.

  Though I fall to shadow and your heart break,

Remember me and wait, that I may see

  The bright and burning path that leads me back,

   Toward your eyes and heaven and the sun.

   The Force has its darkness, but you have none.
