“Past Lives” — Page 2

Warm light gilded Rey and Ben as Naboo’s sun slowly drifted towards the horizon. They had left the dead sands of Tatooine behind, instead seeking shelter in the old Royal Palace. There, the two of them sat along the water’s edge and talked as the night rose around them.

Rey listened patiently as Ben slowly unwound memories from a life almost forgotten — stories of his dad and the Falcon, his nightmares of BX, of what happened at the Academy, and how much he missed his mother. His words painted the loneliness of his childhood; a loneliness Rey understood all too well. She reached for Ben’s hand and he smiled.

“You’re not alone anymore,” whispered, her voice gentle and soft as the dying sunlight.

“Past Lives” — Page 3

Paralyzed, lost my sight

My soul in its darkest night

What have I done

I fell slowly from the sun

tired eyes, fading smiles

whispers saying I’m not right

Hiding secrets of the One

Who fell slowly from the sun

I am blood and I am fire

I am ashes on a funeral pyre

I am war, In a losing fight

I am rumors, I am light
