“…Better hearts’ breaking than worlds’.” – S’task’s farewell to Vulcan

“…day comes up new though empty-hearted: O the long silence, my son!” – Surak’s response

With her touch she invokes a memory

“You have always done what you think is best. I do not always agree”

My words are used against me

I protest

I am silenced

Another memory comes unbidden

“I do what I must.”

She remembers with me a time when she was not there

“I do not always agree,” she echoes.

I accept her thoughts

“I have come to understand, that I do not wish to be the wife of a Martyr.”

“I do not wish to be one.”

“It is the path you have chosen.”

“Perhaps it will not end that way.”

I must believe this for us both

Ancient debate never solved except by parting

Parted from me, yet never parted

Empty-hearted I prepare her

For another long silence

That is our own
