The Captain's Poem
A/N:This started as a harry potter poem but somehow ended up as a star trek next generation
whatever will my mind give me next? The part after the poem was placed after some one told me the poem didn't suite TNG. Well now it dose!
As always TNG dose not belong to me nor would you wish it to ^_^
The way we have fallen from grace but
We rise again to face the decay
saw magic's circle in the deadly fight
Binding us and driving out our blood
Cursing the cure and stumbling in the dark
The fire burning us down
Burn the world to the ground
The writing on the wall waiting for the beauty to die
Watch your world crumble around you
Watch as your faith burns with your last breath
Why was there a burning desire?
The conflagration curse that you carried
It stained your fingertips
but you kept coming close to the sun
maybe one day you'll understand the vastness of space
the voids that your mind must fill
For your world is but kindle
But like all things that smolder
A new life awaits in the ashes
a new faith to carry the flag
a world that becomes life
A place where you and I no longer have to fight
I always wondered how Jean-luc thought about the world, it wasn't often that I would ask him but he always responded kindly, but this...this work of words that he'd written shocked me, It seemed a tad dark for him, after all it seemed as if he was talking about the phoenix reborn...the people who got left behind or maybe even something else, who could tell with him even after the years I had spent with him he was a mystery to me. I loved him true but what did I really know about human beings?
"Q, you're over analyzing it."
I looked up into warm brown eyes and wondered when he started to read my mind;
"I don't know what you're talking about."
He chuckled;
"You were staring so intently at my poem that I say your thoughts were wandering."
I was caught and couldn't pretend one darn bit. He may have aged but that only made him better, made him realize things about me that not many others knew or could even guess. He always knew when I was lying to him after all...
"I was curious."
He shook his head and sat next to me;
"You always are."
