Summary: A thought regarding Kirk's two year retirement before
the events in TWOK. Uhura's POV.
~~~
This man is a stranger to you--
Two years removed, a familiar face lost by the lack of a goodbye
A Cold War of neither's choosing
Just wounded quarry seeking ground
You wonder if the lack of intent should make the blood less red
His world--his ship--claimed by the Admiralty
His duty--his life--forfeited to the ambitions of another
But with their passing, perhaps a Phoenix is reborn
He stands before you now
The epitome of strength and confidence
Yet, you see the cracks in his foundation
The idea of age scars his brow
Loves both old and recent, muting the amber of his eyes
Still, you look past the imperfections
Once again seeing the ideals beneath
His gaze calls you forward
No words needed to seek your oath
Of its own accord, your body takes its station
Feeling at home with him
A family borne of inspiration--
Of trust in such a man.
