Finished commission for spacedgays! That I forgot to post yesterday :l

Just In time for the ob kenob series! that I still need to watch :o

the summer joy of an orange steadily

grappling at the fibres from the inside

bursting open with a deliriousness

that speaks with the love of ancient soil

nurturing the embryo of an orange seed. yonder,

a leap that grapples with the moon-warmed hands,

waning and appearing. who of you talk of the fogs when

the time is skipping, when the time is slipping, when the

time is stretching, when the time is slowing and easing.

the years of winter always leaf through with eagerness.

a camaraderie between the declarations

settled on tree tops which shake,

singing with splendor and the confronting sky

which rises like a glop of honey swelling

out of a glass jar, scooped in spoon like arms

twisting around a human body.

with age the persistence becomes

illustrious around the streets

where bicycles ring like bells joyfully quacking,

muddling with the sound of wash-steps in puddles.

tremendous quiet, when the sun washes a wild

laugh across the rocks gleaming like ripe fruits.

rumbling sweetness carried, lukewarm in the heart,

like a sun in a grinning mouth, slipping

fingers threading along an uncountable past

summer night

Sometimes a Jedi is a diplomat, helping the authorities of the galaxy hash out peaceful agreements and preventing wars.

Sometimes being a Jedi is defending a peaceful ruler in the run, hiding in a war torn planet.

Sometimes…

Sometimes a Jedi helps in undeveloped worlds, defending populations from the day-to-day dangers.

Sometimes a Jedi is a scientist, trying to learn more about the galaxy, chasing knowledge, studying the star and its phenomena.
