Prophecy
Moon so bright
Night so fine
Keep your heart here with mine
Life's a dream
We are dreaming. . . .
"Kathryn! Kathryn where are you?" Running on pure adrenaline he frantically ran through the hot, sweltering jungle. His white, partially buttoned up shirt and his khaki shorts clung to him like a second skin as he moved through the dense vegetation. The sky was dark, blackened by the approaching storm. "Kathryn! Please!" He yelled desperately, "Where are you!"
Race the moon
Catch the wind
Ride the night
To the end
Seize the day
Stand up for the light. . . .
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
The rain fell abruptly, causing him to stop and look straight up. The cool rain felt good against his sweaty skin. Then, without warning the black sky light up a magnificent red color and a loud roar of thunder sounded. He hit the ground running again. He had to find her, had to protect her. The further he ran, the closer he felt to her. He prayed he was almost there. His breathing began to get too heavy. His lungs, and his legs ached but his heart raced on.
Heroes rise
Heroes fall
Rise again w/ it all
In your heart can't you feel the glory?
He saw her. She stood, her back to him, in an opening of the jungle. It was as if she were in her own bubble. As he neared her, he became aware of the calm, fragrant air. It was no longer raining. His breathing was still heavy and ragged but his heart and his mind were at peace. He slowly reached out with his right hand and before he could touch her she turned and faced him. The only thought that registered in his mind was that she was beautiful. She had a long sleeveless blue silk dress on with a matching scarf, which was draped, elegantly over her shoulders. Her soft, shoulder-length auburn hair was down and blew slightly in the breeze. He was drawn to her. "K-Kathryn I've been looking everywhere for you."
She simply smiled and held out her hand. "You want me to dance with you?" Again, she merely smiled.
Through out joy
Through out pain
We can move worlds again
Take my hand
Dance with me
(Dance w/ me)
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I can spend my lifetime loving you
He pulled away slightly and gently she reached up and traced the lines of his tattoo. She smiled at him again before placing her hand over his heart. He placed his hand over hers and leaned his head closer to hers.
Though we know we will never come again
Where there is love life begins
Over, and over again
With his other hand he cupped her cheek and just as he was about to kiss her, she disappeared.
Save the night
Save the day
Save the love
Come what may
Love is when, everything we pay
He stood alone in the jungle. The rain began to pour down. He looked around for her and saw that in her place there was a white gardenia lying on the ground. He bent down slowly and picked it up. Despite the rain, it wasn't wet.
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I can spend my lifetime loving you
Now, on his knees his heart began to feel heavy he lifted his face again to the sky feeling the cool drops hit his skin. She was gone. Tears now meshed with the rain. "Kathryn!" He called out distraughtly.
Loving you. . .
He woke with a start. He blinked several times and as his eyes began to focus her realized he was in his quarters, his Starfleet-issue sheets twisted around him. A dream it was all a. . .
"Captain to Commander Chakotay."
"Yes Captain," he replied groggily.
"Sorry to interrupt your sleep Commander but I need you on the bridge."
"What is it?"
"The Borg."
