Beta: *george* (is how the beta wishes to be acknowledged) Note: written for the Slash Advent Calendar. Author's note: the holiday T'Khut's Touch is my own invention, if anyone ever wishes to borrow it just add a line about hearing of it's origin from Qzee. Thanks. *** Spock watched as people hurried Striding up and down, smiling Carrying wrapped gifts for others A Hannukiah lit over here Christmas lights on a tree there Foods from all corners of the Earth Available on every table Eggnog, wine, spiked punch Everyone talking at once No one noticing him here In the corner, alone And he did not wish to be noticed For he was remembering Vulcan at this time of year The sky would glow at night With reflected sunlight and lightning Vulcan's sister planet T'Khut So very close that she glowed brightly Causes twilight to linger through the night Never getting completely dark Sand storms constantly sparking Due to the closeness of the two planets Chain lightning extending from T'Khut To her sister Vulcan The lightning seems to join them As sand rolls and dances Twirling around and sweeping by Scouring the planet clean And as the sun would rise On what some says is Surak's deathday T'Kut would reflect the first rays Of the intense brightness of the sun Two parallel lines of pale light Extending to the side T'Khut becoming the folded hand The rays becoming the two fingers Extended in greeting to bonded mate From one's bond mate From T'Khut to Vulcan From Vulcan to T'Khut And on this day of Vulcan's year A Vulcan would greet family And their most trusted associates "I will stand at your side As T'Khut stands by Vulcan Her T'Hyla" Emphasizing the phoneme To indicate sister/friend A Vulcan would greet their mate Or their intended Even when courting the widowed "I will be at your side As T'Khut is beside Vulcan Her T'hy'la" Emphasizing the phoneme To indicate mate/friend And then extend the two fingers To touch, to link To celebrate the connection Of two minds joining Two people becoming one Two lives weaving together To create a tapestry of memories Of a life full of purpose As Spock grows aware Of his surroundings once more Crewmates come to him one by one "I will stand at your side As T'Khut stands by Vulcan Her T'Hyla" Even Jim coming to him To greet him as brother/friend Leonard then came up to him Standing right in front of him "I will be at your side As T'Khut is beside Vulcan Her T'hy'la" Leonard extends his two fingers Spock extending his own Meeting halfway as bond mates should They touched They linked They celebrated Planning their eventual connection As T'hy'la Mate and friend and more On this day called by Vulcan's T'Khut's Touch. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ASCEM messages are copied to a mailing list.
