Alderaanian Graveyard
by Bria Tharen
Monday, February 23, 1998


Alderaan.
In the blackness of space you lie,
the remains of a shattered planet.

*My home.*  Destroyed by the whim of a madman.
The bright explosion has been engraved in my mind forever.
Never again can I close my eyes and not see my Alderaan.

Could I have saved you?
I would've given my life for you.
Now I will never know.

My father.
My friends.
My Alderaanian sky.

The remains of a planet, 
I pray will never be forgotten.
I pray this will never happen again.

Nevertheless, Alderaan is gone.
And in that graveyard, 
a part of my soul will always remain.
