Dear Wookie

In the darkness, as I travelled
A beam of light, I saw, and marvelled

Grew brighter, as I drew closer
It's warmth, as if from fire

I went on till I was underneath
The light engulfed me in its sheath

The rays poured on me all their glory
From a sky, dazzling and starry

I saw an angel beside a boy
Who seemed very lonely, and so very shy

On seeing me, the angel whispered to him
And his shyness faded into a grin

The lonely look deserted his face
And he walked towards me at a quick pace

"Who are you?" I asked, a bit dazed
"It's just me," he said, simply unfazed

That was you, little Wookie
And you say, you find it spooky?!

For us, this is a pleasant surprise
Now, we'll learn together and grow wise

It'll be long before we actually meet
But knowing you is really sweet

The confirmation of your existence
Has restored my persistence

I will stay with you, no matter what
Whether hailstorm, avalanche, or draught

We'll struggle together with all our might
And never let each other get out of sight

Someday, somewhere, we'll attain bliss
In a tender, loving, everlasting kiss
