I’m Luke Skywalker.

I’m Darth Vader.

He leapt off the

moving truck into

the arms of a

lifelong friend.

Golden boy swinging,

legs pointed high

like his heart and

aspirations.

Grown man reaching

reaching to speak a

word into the chaos.

Son of my youth

friend of my aging

truth teller and

seeker of his own.

Blessings on Forty.
