Shiva

There is a hawk that is picking the birds out of our sky.
She killed the pigeons of peace and security,
She has taken honesty and confidence from nations and men,
She is hunting the lonely heron of liberty.
She loads the arts with nonsense, she is very cunning,
Science with dreams and the state with powers to catch them at last.
Nothing will escape her at last, flying nor running.
This is the hawk that picks out the stars' eyes.
This is the only hunter that will ever catch the wild swan;
The prey she will take last is the wild white swan of the beauty of things.
Then she will be alone, pure destruction, achieved and supreme,
Empty darkness under the death-tent wings.
She will build a nest of the swan's bones and hatch a new brood,
Hang new heavens with new birds, all be renewed.

A few random thoughts which went through my mind today (SW-centric)

• I kinda really want to write a strongly-worded letter to George Lucas (especially concerning Revenge of the Sith) but I'm afraid I'd end up sounding like a wacko to him- which I don't particularly want. But I think he should explain himself, and why he *had* to make that ending so absolutely heart-wrenching.
  

• Speaking of SW, I kinda want to write a AU story from the ending of AotC toward the beginning of RotS, but so far no definite plot has popped up. (It would, of course, be Padme/Anakin-centric, and overwrought with cameos by Obi-Wan because HE IS THE COOLEST JEDI THERE EVER WILL BE! And Chancellor Palpatine would've died all ready because the other Jedi would've all ready ousted him as being on the dark side- how no one suspected him of being a Sith Lord earlier is beyond me.)

• Speaking of evil chancellors who should've minded their own business, and other plotbunnies which will definitely escape me after today, I also kind of want to write a Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan reunion story like after Master Yoda teaches Obi-Wan to commune with his dead master, but I wouldn't even know where to start, and the mechanics of it all. But it would be *so cool* to read!

• I've also been thinking I'd like to write a Han/Leia story while possibly exploring the Leia/Luke/Han love triangle before Luke & Leia find out the truth about themselves.

I know. I have a disease. I should just stop right here, and not lose my sanity anymore
