Endless darkness and
Night eternal –
This is the realm of the
Enterprise. In battle steel
Rivets
Popping, enemy fire
Raking, breaching shields. By a quiet voice a command
Is given, fire returned, enemy defeated.
Safe again is the
Enterprise.
...
Most logical
Is he, the Vulcan
Science Officer of the Enterprise. Part of the
Triumvirate is he,
Eldest and strongest in this microcosm Earth.
Rules are binding, for
Sacred is the
Prime Directive, unless endangered is the Captain.
Obdurate is he, emotions hidden but
Crying tears witnessed by
Kirk.
...
Jim to his friends,
A captain else. Loved by his men,
Married to his ship, she called
Enterprise.
Safeguarding the Federation from the
Terrors of the
Klingons, Romulans, menaces unknown with his life. Called both an
Icon, and a
Reprobate, he is emotion to logic and morality. Of the colours of man he is a
Kaleidoscope, ever charming, ever changing.
...
Baldric over shoulder, tricorder
Out and scanning. Bark worse than bite, hands gentle as he
Nags.
Ever arguing are he and
Spock. Between them the
Mediator is Kirk, he whom they struggle to protect. He
Cares for the
Crew. Too greatly? His family:
Old man, half man,
Young man.
