Summary: Spock recalls his return from Gol. 

Disclaimer: Yea, yea, and verily, Paramount and Viaborg doth own the entire Trekiverse.  I don't have a claim to it and I certainly don't intend to make a penny off of it.  But, since I don't seem to actually mention any of that in this piece, I guess it's mine, mine, all MINE!  Mwuhahahahaa....

PORTALS 

The door swung shut behind me, 
Alone, I stood in sun red haze, 
My expectations shattered 
And all my lies undone. 
Behind those walls, I willed to silence 
My memories of the One 
Whose siren thoughts would cast me out, 
My torment and my love. 

I praised myself for seeking peace, 
I praised myself for virtue, 
Each self-congratulation 
Would reforge my chains anew. 

The door slid wide before me, 
Alone, I stood in startled gaze 
Of him whose thoughts burnt through me 
From whom I'd thought to run. 
Within these walls, I found my place 
Beside the only One 
Who can lead and I will follow, 
My captain and my love. 

It was only then I realized, 
It was only then I knew 
Each self-congratulation 
Was rememberance of you.
