    Some The Last Jedi / Force-inspired verses to share with you on this special Star Wars Day:


    Mortal spectrum: lesser light,
    where all crude matters dwell,
    but even as some darkness dims
    another ray shall swell

    to point a way, not left nor right,
    nor any way you've known,
    but rather past deceptive sight,
    beyond what suns have shown:

    illumination yet unseen,
    freed from shadows hence,
    a spark of truth to intervene
    when nothing else makes sense.

    Gaze past all horizons found
    and search within your heart:
    steps to larger worlds abound.
    Begin to see the start.

    Between the waves, a deeper fact
    which cannot be denied:
    One is all and all's compact.
    There's nothing to divide.

    Observe: the Force flows further yet
    past any false extremes:
    beyond "the end" there's something set
    outside your farthest dreams.

    Unnerve, and all is lost, once more.
    Conserve, but still decline?
    What mysteries remain in store
    for those who can't refine.

    The knowledge of the ages, where?
    Within this grain of sand?
    Some wisdom will an ocean share
    Once mind has left the land.

    Old teachings now you must unlearn.
    Their studies served their day.
    Profundities can still return
    to one not lost to gray.

    The answers sought were always here,
    above the sky you stride.
    Awaken inward eyes to hear
    the questions in the tide.

    Resolving darkness at the glow.
    Discerning starkness, night.
    Absolving hindrance in the flow
    begins to make things right.

    The Force surrounds and binds all things,
    Controls and yet obeys.
    Such energy, from life it springs.
    We must accept its ways.


    Please feel free to share your own Star Wars-inspired poems as well!

    Beautiful!

    Let me try:
    There once was a findsman named Zuckuss
    When trapped, he said that he'd...
    Dang, I forgot the rest.

    Thanks, caratrooper. Hope you remember the rest soon ;)

    Here's some Jedi haiku:

    Focus determines
    reality: be careful
    how you view this moon.

    Snow, below the trees:
    a new branch reaches for light
    past a vanquished sun.

    The islands at night
    rest in restless waves, endless,
    flowing in the Force.

    Stones for steps, we climb
    toward a green peak, where all is
    small, significant.

    Like summer's river,
    what hours rush by us: but wait
    and mind the moment.

    When least expected,
    the Force will summon you forth,
    as trees bend to wind.

    Breathe, and just let go:
    like the leaves of this forest,
    we cling to nothing.
