The Loss of Princess Leia

Beyond the moon she goes to rest,

A princess sound asleep.

And in the cinematic vest,

Her presence we will will keep.

The warring stars will settle down,

As honoring her place

A million people mark her crown,

And mourn her lovely face.

The empire of the dying torch 

Has burned its final flame.

As none alive escape its scorch,

We join and say her name ...

Oh, Leia, born of Jedi blood 

On Alderann you grew,

In tune with nature's ebbing flood

A marvel, sound and true.

The presence of the Force is strong 

And wills is to unite.

Untimely death has spilled along 

A turmoil black as night.

Go be with Yoda, Ben, and Han,

Release into the air,

For now you join with Alderaan;

The angels take you there.

Disturbance in the universe,

For everyone has heard

Another 2016 curse,

Ridiculous, absurd,

Has captured yet another breath;

Removed from us delight.

But Carrie Fisher battled death;

She gave it quite a fight!

And all together, in the course,

We suffer in regret

As Princess Leia joins the Force,

A name we won't forget ...
